Okay, I’m not usually that swayed by bling when it comes to gadgets - I figure, if I want gold or diamonds, I’d rather wear it myself rather than have my gadgetry sparkle. Also, too much glitz in a gadget tends to make the thing really impractical.

But the Jens of Sweden MP-500 looks so sleek and elegant - especially the Excentrique edition, which has a 24 karat gold exterior. Hey, I could live with that.

Thing is, though - I love my iPod. Maybe I should be shopping around for a sleek case …

Other MP-500 features:

* plays MP3 and MP4
* voice recording
* stereo speakers
* USB 2.0
* watch
* alarm
* FM radio
* 1.6″, 260k colors display, 128 x 128 resolution
* available in 1GB and 2GB
