High End Gadgets: The Hermès Contre-Temps


Designed by French designer Alexandre Fourne, the Hermès Contre-Temps Agenda is yet another step in top design house' attempts to broaden their brand, and leap off the glossy pages of luxury apparel & accessories, and into the electronics world.

The Hermes Agenda does almost everything an iphone does; including an electronic organizer, photo sharing, email, GPS, RSS reader and more. Featuring an OLED touchscreen and e-paper technology, when closed it's about the same size as a smart phone. ...But is it practical? 

As of right now the Hermès Agenda is only a concept, but should it actually come to fruition, will it live up to today's high standard of smart-phone/pda?...We shall see.

And speaking of designer electronics-- my husband had the Giorgio Armani for Samsung phone. While it was a fun gadget to have, it didn't last long- he was back on the Blackberry in no time.

In the end, I think it's more about the name than the actual capabilities of the device.
