The reason celebrities have taken to wearing garish specs is because it gives the impression that they do not take themselves seriously, she adds.

But anyone who does want to follow the current trend can get cheaper version of the fashion item at Topshop, Ms Armstrong points out.

Last week, Gaia Geddess, fashion editor of US magazine Harper’s Bazaar, told the Daily Telegraph that headscarves are set to be popular in the coming months.

However, she predicted that this would probably be a "short-lived fad".

However, the device might be as popular with people as other phones due to its poor design, the news provider adds.

Its looks are "not what you [would] call sexy", the website states.

Other features included in the device are a two-inch screen, Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD memory card expansion slot and a media player.

The device is currently only set for release in Japan, but is it possible it will make it to other markets.

Meanwhile, Apple has revealed that the new iPhone 3G has already sold more than one million units.

Writing for Australian IT, Fran Foo explains that the new Centrino 2 chipsets will power both business and entertainment laptops.

She says: "Codenamed Montevina, the Centrino 2 machines cater to a wide range of users from gamers and high-definition, multimedia-hungry users to small and medium-sized businesses."

The new processors should offer consumers better performance, higher quality graphics, longer battery life and other power-saving enhancements, she adds.

According to Intel, the laptops should be 1.5 times faster than their predecessors and people will be able to watch a Blu-ray movie on one battery charge.

Yesterday, Tech Radar claimed that the Rock Pegasus 520 will be one of the best Centrino 2 laptops on the market when it is released.

According to the news provider, the system will be ideal for people looking for a high-end gaming system.

SlipperyBrick reveals that Zepto is ready to unveil the Mythos and Nox notebooks, both of which can feature a Centrino 2 2.8 GHz Dual Core processor, depending on the customer’s choice.

High-end users can opt for up to 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive, the news provider adds.

The devices come with a built-in Blu-ray drive, a 512MB graphics card and a 15.4-inch screen.

As well as this, the laptops feature a night mode, which allows people to switch off all the LEDs on the device to enhance the viewing experience in the dark, the website word states.

Meanwhile, Australian IT has claimed that the latest Intel technology should suit the needs of all types of laptop users, regardless of weather or not people want to use them for business or pleasure.

Writing for the Dallas Morning News, Andrew Smith explains that he believes recent comments by the firm’s chief financial officer (CFO), Peter Oppenheimer, could indicate the firm is planning to cut the price of its computers.

Mr Smith points out that the CFO recently told investors the firm would introduce a product so competitive that it would drive Apple’s profit margin down by five percentage points.

According to Mr Smith, this indicates that a revamp of its laptop range is in the offing.

He said: "I’d guess Apple is planning to make some very aggressive upgrades to the laptops without raising, or perhaps even lowering, prices.

"My reason for making this guess is the sheer size of the margin decline that Oppenheimer predicted."

Recently, author Hunter Davies revealed to the Guardian how he had reluctantly embraced a MacBook but was now learning to love it.

In conclusion, the writer said: "Scarlet puts in a decent performance with Freeview, DVDs and Blu-ray, although its style and usability should be its key attractions.

"Time to paint the lounge red."

Positive press for the LG Scarlet has come after Stuff.tv claimed that Pioneer’s new KuroPDP-LX5090 plasma TV creates "rich and vibrant colours".

The website added that when it was tested with a copy of Disney film Cars, the television set showed it was capable of "demonstrating subtlety and insight".

The W595 can store and play around 1,900 songs, includes in-built speakers and also boasts music sharing facilities, while the W302 features a two megapixel camera and FM radio capabilities.

Discussing the handsets, Sony Ericsson’s head of music category, Ben Padley, said: "We are offering high quality sound and a rich feature set that cements our position as a leader in the music phone category.

"We are pushing the boundaries of what people think is possible and are offering best-in-class sound quality and our most exciting Walkman phones to date."

Sony Ericsson also recently launched a selection of mobile phone accessories designed by tennis star Maria Sharapova.

It explained: "The keys protrude individually through the chassis, making it easy to type at speed without hitting the surrounding keys.

"The patterned touchpad is large enough to make navigation easy for those with the biggest of fingers, and the touchpad buttons are separated by a fingerprint scanner."

In a recent article for the Daily Telegraph, writer Claudine Beaumont described Asus’s Eee PC as "the perfect travel laptop".

She added that the version of the portable computer which features 4GB of memory was "ideal for gap-year students or wannabe novelists hoping to find inspiration in the sun".

In addition, the website reports that the only other feature included on the device is the earphone jack, as music automatically stops and starts when accessories for listening are inserted.

No details on the price or the release date of the system have yet been announced.

Earlier this week, Register Hardware reported that a new Star Wars mp3 player is being launched.

In a review, the website’s James Sherwood said the "kitsch value" of the device, which is being sold by online retailer Forbidden planet, would particularly find favour with fans of the famous sci-fi film series.

The final song to be included in the new release is Soothsayer, by Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Buckethead.

Activision is yet to announce the cost of the new expansion pack.

Earlier this week, the publishing company announced that it was making two songs by rock legend Jimi Hendrix available for owners of Guitar Hero: World Tour.
