The American-born, British 27-year old known as Sienna Miller has walked down different paths on her way to next week’s G.I. Joe movie.
Starting her career as a model, Sienna quickly moved into the world of acting in 2004 when she had a supporting role in the Jude Law remake of Alfie and opposite the new James Bond – Daniel Craig – in Layer Cake. Her highly-publicized relationship wit Jude Law at this time probably made her more famous than all her movies put together. More recently you might have seen her in Stardust or as the model for a new women’s fragrance for Hugo Boss called Orange.
But no one will forget her as The Baroness, the sneaky and sexy femme fatale that works for Cobra, the terrorist organization determined to rule the world. Depending on who you talk to, the G.I. Joe movie will be the best thing ever or the worst movie set to film. But this will definitely bring Ms. Miller’s beauty up front and center and millions of Baroness costumes this Hallowe’en.

It started with The Animatrix, took a turn to Batman Gotham Night and now it goes downtown as Marvel introduces Iron Man and Wolverine with a Japanese style. Madhouse, the studio behind such recent anime hits like Death Note, Claymore, Trigun and so many more, will be handing the complete animation on these 2 films (the first of 4) will be airing in Japan early in 2010 and no doubt on DVD soon afterwards for the rest of the world:
China Unicom has more than 135 million subscribers. (By comparison, China Mobile has over 470 million.) The company has promised to sell between 1 million and 2 million units per year, with revenue of at least 5 billion yuan ($732 million) in the same period. Reuters reports that the deal gives China Unicom exclusive rights to sell the device for the next three years. According to MacDailyNews, the iTunes Store model will remain unchanged and operate as it does in most other countries, with the usual Apple approval process and 70/30 split.
China has had a healthy black market in the sale of imported iPhones for several years. According to The New York Times, by the end of 2007, Apple had reported sales of 3.7 million iPhones. But only 2.3 million were actually registered on the networks of Apple’s wireless partners in the U.S. and Europe. Many of the “missing” iPhones found their way to China, where they were sold for as much as 4,000 RMB.
Still lots of speculation on the lack of WiFi on the models that will be sold in China, driving up prices for second-hand 3G iPhones in Hong Kong but either way get ready for a real iExplosion in China.
We love to show off new products, gadgets and gear here on Neonpunch and while this one is a bit old, its just too bizarre not to bring to your attention. In the US its apparently quite a big seller: The Snuggie – essentially a blanket with sleeves or what we would call a backwards robe. At HK$130 a pop, this thing is selling like crazy and is available at Wal-Mart and Target. We’re hoping no one tries to import this to Hong Kong. But why do we have a feeling if it does comes here that office ladies will be wearing them in high air-con offices?
When you think of the weird gadgets that come out, this “warmness enhancer” is awarded our first “Do Not Buy” award and if you don’t believe us watch the video below:
