Douglas J Presidential: audio, video and diamonds for $44,000
Forget the Swarovski crystal iPod nano (which sold on eBay for a mere $425). For some serious MP3 ice, you'll want the Douglas J Presidential HG player, playa. The 1GB player can handle audio, video and pics, but what really matters is, if real, that the HG would be encrusted with diamonds and sells for a mere £25,000 (over $44,000). Oh, and if you want more info on the specs before buying, it'll cost you £50 — seriously! That's luxury. And just in case you need someplace to show this thing off, the purchase price includes priority entry to the Soho Club in London — and a 50% discount on the entry fee — which makes it a veritable bargain.

It's a good thing this is ugly as hell, otherwise someone might actually buy one.

You Engadget guys can buy one of these will all of the AOL money you've just gotten, correct?

Oh!.. and if you want to just merely LOOK at it online, it'll cost you fifty bucks.
Oh!.. and if you want a wipe rag to keep the screen clean, it'll cost you seventy-five!
Oh!.. and, and, and...
Whatever.
Oh!.. and instead of buying this, you can take the 44 grand and put a couple of people through four years of college and change lives! You know, like, doing something meaningful with your dough - like being so totally like smart and stuff, and a good steward of your money and all that?!

I tried one of these earlier in the year. When they say small, they mean small. this thing is TINY! I dont know how they crammed so much stuff into a tiny little box. but it works, sounds good, and looks damn good. Its also a bargain!! I have friends that have bought them. And everywhere they go, people ask about it. Its better than an shuffle any day.....
