World's Most Expensive Gizmos


TrekStor – Worlds Most Expensive Mp3 Player
TrekStor , a German company that designs audio and storage equipment has designed what could easily be the world’s most expensive Mp3 player. The player was designed for Alex Shnaider, owner of the Midland Formula 1 team.

This outrageously extravagant Mp3 player is cast in 18 karat gold and adorned with 63 diamonds and a chain made of aquamarine gems. The device took over 100 man hours to create by famed jewelers and designers Wenthe in Mannheim. It's fashioned from TrekStor’s i.Beat organix player.

Specs-wise the i.Beat organix Gold edition comes equipped for using a standard USB 2.0 and a software CD which also includes the driver that’s required and Magix MP3 Maker SE. A line-in cable is provided for recording from external devices. It reads MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, ASF formats and come with Sennheiser earphones. This edition is also equipped with preset EQs, an integrated FM radio, digital clock, alarm and a stop watch. For some reason it even includes a Text reader.

The device can be used for mass storage and is equipped with 2GB of onboard memory. The company says it’ll run for 25 hours after 3 hours of charging. By golly, it’s just packed with features and there are so many more I haven’t even mentioned. Like - you can even record music from radio among the plethora of other functions.

How much did this crazy device go for? A Whoopping US$20,000, that’s Rs. 8,67,484. So as I see it I would have got more than decent car in less than that amount. Yikes!
