In a discussion from a few weeks ago I said it was a shame that there wasn't a B&O skin/version of Android. Well, as an update I noticed that Lamborghini have done a phone:

It's very silly and expensive and I would far rather have my iPhone but it does raise the question of how easy it would be to go about a similar B&O thing, now that they'd very much be out the hardware game in that market. I think it would be nice to get a B&O designed OS with inbuilt integration rather than a series of Apps. Ie if you want to turn on BBC1, it should be possible to set that as a one touch button on the home scree alongside your email etc, rather than having to launch an app and use several taps to achieve what has always been one touch in the past.
Is a custom version of Android something that is remotely possible or are Lamborghini relying on an uber wealthy (mostly Arab) elite that B&O just don't have as a customer base to draw on?
Very vulgar and silly and only for people who think the brand is more important than the product.
B&O skirted with this market with the gold speakers etc. There's probably sales to be made but only at the expense of integrity.
Ban boring signatures!
Ridiculous! Apart from the fact that Lamborghini is not Italian anymore, why would you spend three times more than a very good phone. I've read that Xiaomi is a very good android phone with excellent features.
Look at the upcoming red phone.....
