Gresso classies up the iPad with 18k gold logo and ancient wood case


We'll openly admit we never knew what African Blackwood was until
Gresso started applying the stuff to its line of extremely luxurious
cellphone mods, but now we can't imagine a new product from the
Russian company without the 200-year old timber making an appearance.
And sure enough, the Gresso iPad's rear is composed almost entirely of
Dalbergia melanoxylon, broken up only by the insertion of an 18-karat
gold Apple logo. Strangely, in spite of its extravagant constituent
materials, this design is a very restrained, dare we say, classy,
affair. It goes on sale on New Year's Eve at an unannounced price, but
you know what they say: if you have to ask or you have to work for a
living, you probably can't afford it.
