'Clutch' your love the 'slim way' !

For fashionistas and tech-savvy women in India, this Valentine's Day seems to be a special one - if they are to be pampered with gadgets as gifts by the love of their life. Wondering what am I blabbering! Well, HP is shortly launching world's first 'digital clutch' - HP Mini 1000 special edition notebook, styled by New York designer Viviene Tam. A thing of beauty that surely would be.

Today, manufacturers of electronic goods including cell phone companies are coming out with trendy and fashionable products, what with our tech-savvy women going a step further in creating a greater demand for these gadgets in the market. After chic cell phones, Blackberrys and iPods, which caught the attention of the modern day women, it's time for sleek PCs and notebooks to enter their 'wardrobe'.

Even as the eyes are still blinking at the Sony Vaio P - an ultra-compact, pocket-style PC, which was launched recently in select markets across the world, HP will soon join the race. Whether it is Sony or HP, these small beauties come with the specs that any normal notebook would come with - Bluetooth, USB ports, headphone jack, Webcam, etc.

So much for so less (less in weight and small in size) - what more can a fashionable and tech-savvy woman ask for! As I was discussing about how technology has changed our lives, and has begun to make a fashion statement, my friend, a fashion designer herself, drew my attention more towards to the HP 'digital clutch'. She said that the digital clutch is being released in red colour, blending so well with the aura of Valentine's Day (celebrated on February 14).

Well, these gadgets may slip into your pockets easily, but will surely burn holes. While Sony Vaio P series is priced around Rs. 50,000, the HP Viviene Tam digital clutch is said to be priced at just over Rs. 35,000.

These trendy gadgets are definitely a big bet when compared to teddies, flowers and cards to gift your Valentine. But is this a right time, with the recession ghost haunting us, to indulge in expensive buys. If Valentine's Day is the pitch to release the product, surely there are many lovers who will go to any extent to please their Lady Love.

So, 'clutch' your love the 'slim way' this Valentine's Day. :)
