Continuing on the gold theme bandwagon. Apple's Senior VP of Design Jony Ive has joined forces with his old buddy Bono and industrial designer Mike Newson to produce limited edition pieces for charity. Ive and Newson collaborated on 18k rose gold Apple EarBuds as well as other delectable rarities including a Leica rangefinder camera, a Steinway & Sons Parlor Grand Piano, a Range Rover, and a Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos "561" clock which all received makeovers from the design duo. The pieces will be part of a 40-item auction for Bono's Product (RED) charity which hopes to benefit The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Would those EarBuds match an upcoming iPhone? We'll find out tomorrow as we cover the Apple Announcement live from Cupertino.

Sony takes to Twitter to announce the Canadian launch of the Xperia Z Ultra

Although it will by no means be considered a 'flagship' device, Sony has taken to their Xperia Canada Twitter account to announce that the 6.4-inch screened "phablet"known as the Xperia Z Ultra will indeed launch in Canada next month. 

Although no details on carrier, pricing or exact dates are known, one can assume - based on the image above alone - that it will launch in a variety of colors with Rogers (probably; we all know their affinity for all phones white) snatching up the white iteration. 

Of course, the Xperia Z Ultra will have some stiff competion in the over-sized phone market (one that Samsung currently dominates), it's good to see competition rising.
