I exaggerate. It's actually only $19999.99.

1 GB. It doesn't support AAC either (not even non-DRM'd AAC). (Its corresponding non-gold non-diamond version is $120, but it only has 512 MB.)

If you're going to drop 20 big ones on an 18-karat gold, jewel-encrusted MP3 player, the device better sound as good as it looks. Luckily, TrekStor is at the top of the MP3-player game. This device features a beefy 1 GB memory to hold all your favorite tunes. It can playback MP3, WMA, WAV, ASF, and OGG file formats, and it even supports WMA-DRM9 (DRM-protected files). TrekStor built this MP3 player for two, offering a pair of headphone jacks that let you share your tunes with a friend as you're whisked away on your private jet. The organix Gold is also equipped with a stereo FM radio and an integrated voice recorder (MP3 format) for taking audio notes. You can even use your organix Gold as a mobile data storage device with data transfer via the USB connection.

What's in the Box
Trekstor i.Beat organix Gold MP3 player, Sennheiser earphones, USB 2.0 cable, line-in cable, software CD, and quick guide.

Product Description
Trekstor's outstanding features of the i.Beat organix include its particularly durable rechargeable battery (up to 25 hours operating time), an organic extremely sharp OLED display, a second headphone jack and recording functions as a dictation machine and through the integrated line-in jack. Further distinguishing characteristics of the i.Beat organix are a 5x equalizer and SRS surround sound giving the player crystal clear sound quality. Another high quality component included in the deliverables is a set of Sennheiser headphone. The compact, multi-talented gadget (75 x 32 x 16mm) is fitted with a powerful lithium polymer rechargeable battery which is charged via a high-speed USB 2.0 interface. The i.Beat organix also comes with a USB connector cable and concise user manual. 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. The Trekstor "i.Beat organix Gold" can be custom made at an addional cost. As a special highlight, customers can have their own, or someone else's, name engraved in gold.

Absolutely ridiculous. I bet P. Diddy gets it.

Actually, P. Diddy has a diamond-encrusted iPod.

It would actually look pretty sweet if it weren't for that garish HP symbol. It would have looked better if they just had a slightly visible HP symbol, and the diamonds elsewhere (like around the periphery).

Ridiculous.

I think someone is missing the point of having a private jet.

I have no idea why anyone would buy this? It's gold big deal. You'll look far cooler when you pull out your 60 gig iPod.

turtle777 · Sep 3, 2006, 12:36 PM

Did I mention that it looks gey (sic) ?

Nah. iPod nano = cool. 60 GB iPod = functional.

Wait, you guy's are missing the bigger picture here. If you buy it from Amazon, you get free shipping. How can you afford not to own one.

jamil5454 · Sep 3, 2006, 02:37 PM

Ehh, people will buy it just cause they can. Hype up a gold plated terd enough, and it will sell for $20,000.

Ture, most people wouldn't belive you that it was real gold
