African Blackwood and Gold Make for a $7,000 MP3 Player

Is your MP3 player like all the rest? A conventional looking interface, jog wheel perhaps, an anodized aluminum casing or piano black plastic? Poor you, but there’s still hope. Gresso from Russia is pawning an “elite” design for those in need of luxury. The African Blackwood and Gold is just one of the options, you can also choose African Blackwood and pink gold, or if you feel that African Blackwood is an endangered species of tree, just go all gold with white gold or pink gold all 18 carat.

They feature 1GB of internal memory, Mp3, WMA, ASF and OGG music format support, with an FM tuner. Pricing is set at 3000 to 5000 € ($4000-$7000 USD).
