It seems that as more and more people are affluent enough to purchase cellphones, they tend to shun picking up a watch as the cellphone already comes with a built-in clock that tells the time equally well. The only drawback would be the hassle of dragging the handset out of the pocket each time you want to see how many minutes are there left before you head home from work after a stressful day. Hence, the once-faithful watch has been relegated to the position of a fashionable timepiece for most, and a collectors’ item for a selected, privileged few.

Perhaps there should be a German version of the popular MTV show Pimp My Ride. German car customizer Mattes Interieurtechnik built a Mercedes CLS with an integrated backseat iMac. Mattes even carefully covered the outer edge of the iMac in leather to help it blend in with the cream colored interior.

Where are the cables? Mattes didn’t want any wires to clutter up his masterpiece, so he made sure to get a wireless mouse and Bluetooth keyboard. I wonder if he integrated the iMac into the speaker system so his passengers can be backseat DJs.

You can check out some more pictures here.

I wasn’t expecting an Apple TV, but here it is, a shiny red thing with a stem on top. Okay it’s not made by the legendary iPod inventor company Apple but the LCD TV does look like, well an Apple.

The LCD screen is discreetly hidden away behind two front panels, which also contain the two stereo speakers, that when opened also reveal a “fleshy white interior” around the brown TV screen. The durable and life-like leaves are created from a combination of silicone rubber and metal wire. There is also a metal inner structure, for sturdiness, the rubber stem is wrapped around.

The Apple TV is available from First Street, the iPod is available from Amazon (and a googol other sources).
