Gresso Symphonia: Luxurious music

Edvarcl Heng  |  Feb 23, 2007

Russian firm Gresso obviously knows it's going to be an uphill task going one up against established MP3 manufacturing stalwarts like Creative and iriver. So rather than rattling the features saber at the competition, Gresso is pulling out a ruby-encrusted one. The Symphonia is a barebones MP3 player with a showy virtue.

At US$4,000 to US$6,500 for a 1GB unit, that's a lot of cash to fork out. But since the African Blackwood tree is under the ICUN Red list of Threatened Species, it may be the price one pays for rarity.
