Authors: Recession aside, we have covered quite a few blinged iPods and iPhones in our time, many of which make Bernard Manning seem like the ambassador of good taste. This one though - possibly the most expensive one yet - takes gaudy to lows only accessible to the likes of Paris Hilton. Designed by luxury Austrian jeweller, Peter Aloisson, the 'iPhone 3G Kings Button' speaks for itself since it boasts a massive 6.6-carat diamond where the usual plastic button resides and costs a whopping £1.76 million.
