Not just beautiful but also (to me) futuristic, when they came out in 2007 there was no way I could afford one, but I never really forgot about it. Fast forward to about four years ago when they had come down below $500, and I was actually able to grab one for much less than that luckily. Sadly, they couldn't really deliver on the promise that the design held, but it is still one hell of a design.

I think I may be needing one of these!
