Comments on: An MP3 player from Russia, with love

Like its luxury phone, Gresso's music player is sure to turn heads

Pay attention

Think about it: 200 year old African Blackwood. That?s ebony. That?s in all
likelihood recycled 200 year old piano keys. This is a scam ? a pretty scam, but
a scam. And at 1GB, the base cost of these little boutique mp3 players is
probably significantly less than that of an Ipod. If you want to blow some extra
money on a rustic ipod pimp-out, go for the Iwood nano.

Gresso is unlikely to be a Russian company

(a) The trademark 'Gresso' is not registered to anybody in the Russian Federation;
(b) No company called 'Gresso' (Latin or Cyrillic) applied within the last 5 years to Gosstandart Rossii (National Standardization Agency) with a certification request;
(c) There was a series of private adds in Moscow newspapers in the early 2000s, advertising customization of cell phones. Among other things, cases from rare sorts of wood and complete custom themes, starting from the startup screen were offered.

Further to my previous post

The company who placed those adds is ALAN Abris; it is located in Penza, Russia, and manufactures a number of industrial products, packaging machinery, and cellular accessories. ALAN Abris is also the registrant of 'gresso.com'
