Gresso iPad uses 200-year-old African Blackwood
Russian-based design house Gresso, which specializes in making ultra-exclusive and expensive versions of popular consumer electronics, has now unveiled its latest creation. Apple's iPad has received the company's treatment, which includes 200-year-old African Blackwood for its case and an 18K gold Apple logo. No other details about the Gresso iPad are known, including what model has been selected.
As is usually the case when it comes to ultra-expensive items, pricing isn't being discussed, but is likely to be revealed when the exclusive iPad goes on sale on New Year's Eve. [via PhoneArena]

Yes indeed
The same treatment for the iPhone 4? $4,500
Did we mention the Blackwood is 200 years old?
Do I really want a reticent phone?
I'm calling them on their English language support...
On the other hand they seem to have added Java to the iPhone!
