Each one of the 60 limited-edition cameras costs 199,900 yuan (about US$30,000), and is individually numbered from 1949 to 2009. The cameras, wrapped in red calfskin, say “Long Live the People’s Republic of China” in red calligraphy and sport a Tiananmen Square pattern. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to be someone pretty important (and in China) to get one of these, but if you’ve got 30 grand and a connection, Leica’s probably not going to say no.

Since many companies like to keep future new releases under tight wraps so they don’t short-circuit sales of their current products, we can’t predict what all the new hot gadgets will be this year. But we did see a fair amount of intriguing stuff at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas and we know that plenty of sequels to today’s popular products are on the way–whether the company wants you to know it or not.

This brolly deserves a standing ovation. Pun aside, it’s basically an umbrella given a tripod tip by designer Hironao Tsuboi, so it’s able to stand upright without any support. That would have been previously impossible due to the uneven weight distribution of curved handles on most sunshades. The design process, according to Tsuboi, is complex as it involves casting aluminum into different moulds and determining the optimal spread of the legs. US$49 is a still a tad steep for a parasol (you can buy it online here) and it probably wouldn’t work as well on uneven floors.
