Motorola aims to make its Z8 cellphone all the more exclusive by teaming up with Ferrari, the most successful Formula 1 team to date. I wonder if the Italian automaker ever pondered over how they have let their brand name appear on more and more tech these days and the impact it will have in diluting the exclusiveness of such a pedigree. Guess the Z8 is the latest in a line of gadgets to come after Acer’s Ferrari notebook that boasts the famous prancing horse logo on it. This limited edition handset will come in the normal black and red color scheme, and shares the same specifications as a standard Z8 save for goodies such as free Ferrari videos, custom wallpapers and ringtones, and online magazine subscriptions that you don’t need. No word on pricing, but the Ferrari Motorola Z8 will hit stores in Q1 next year.

LG’s new eXPRESs S900 notebook blurs the line between a notebook and a desktop, boasting a massive 19″ monitor with desktop computer components housed within. Frequent travelers who want something light and portable will probably have to forget about lugging this monster around as it is bound to result in sore shoulders after a while. Features include a 3.5″ hard drive (250GB to 320GB capacities), an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Windows Vista, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GeForce 8600 GT video card, a DVD Super Multi Drive, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a handy multi-card reader. Unfortunately, the LG eXPRESs S900 notebook has a miserly battery life of just 30 minutes. If you’re still bent on picking one up, it retails between $1,300 and $1,750.
