There's something when it comes to luxury: It's not about the
function, nor is it about practicality. It's about the excess and sheer form;
the beauty in itself when it comes to the object's existence. It's about the
image, and the fact that, while you could have better spent your money
elsewhere, you didn't. Because despite the vanity of the object, it's so
necessary, yet completely unnecessary, all at the same time. The fact that,
if function was even remotely a concern, you could have saved a wad of cash
by purchasing something that comes in less form and does the same thing. But
you didn't. Because it's about luxury. To get a hold of what it's like to own
something that addresses such an interesting market segment, what we have
here at APH Networks today is one of the latest creations from LUXA2 -- a
brand created by Thermaltake that focuses on luxury lifestyle products. The
company's H1-Touch is all about coming down to its aesthetic value. Economic
value? What is that, anyway? An iPhone/iPod (Or pretty much any mobile
electronics device, to be honest) stand that "holds nothing but your mobile
device" and costs approximately $50 retail at press time, the LUXA2 H1-Touch
certainly isn't the Swiss army knife of mobile device stands! But for what
it's worth, the LUXA2 stand is constructed of a beautiful, clean aluminum
design; and even a couple Swarovski crystals to give the visual appeal a
little boost. Just for sitting on your desk all day, and that's it. Good
stuff. So we'll show off our little bit of excessive pride today,
