Trekstor isn't shy about the price of it's MP3 players. In fact, they even bragged about it at a recent tech show. The Trekstor i.Beat organix Gold is a 2Gb MP3 player -- with the shell made of 18k yellow gold.
TrekStor received an order from Russian-Canadian billionaire and owner of the Midland Formula 1 team, Alex Shnaider, to develop the world's most expensive MP3 player. This unique, custom-made device was created based on TrekStor's i.Beat organix, winner of 14 accolades.
The casing of the organix is cast in 750 gold (18 karat) and adorned with 63 diamonds (one-karat). The player is also embellished with a small chain that includes aquamarine gems. Jewelers Wenthe in Mannheim/Germany put over 100 hours of pains-taking handiwork into the exquisite gadget. The Trekstor website offers this marketing piece:
