A Piece of the Original Sin: The Adam & Eve Uber-Expensive Flash Drives

It would seem that, for some reason, there are certain people out there who simply can't be seen using the same electronic devices as normal people do. For this category of customers, a device should be blingy, super-expensive and rare in order to be attractive and this is the reason why the Gresso company, a manufacturer of special, luxury items, has announced the Adam & Eve line of USB Flash Drives, a series of products designed to meet exactly the demands listed above.

But what makes these things so special and so attractive for luxury-seekers? Well, first of all, they're more jewelry items than actual electronic products, as they're manufactured from some pretty rare and expensive materials. Thus, the drives include mahogany and African blackwood, gold and are also studded with white diamonds, explaining, to some degree, the enormous price tag (listed in the end of this article).

Furthermore, the design itself is rather unique, as it is inspired by the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The drives come in three different shapes, a bitten apple, a cross and a simple rectangle on a rubber strap with a gold clasp, while the cases (at least the ones with the shape of a bitten apple, as we can see from the picture) are laser-engraved with a motive of the original "serpent-tempter" (probably there in order to tempt possible customers into paying a fortune for this thing).

The Adam & Eve collection of super-luxurious portable storage solutions is supposed to become available at some point in October and prices will vary from 300 to 1000 US dollars, depending on the storage capacities and, more importantly, on the external casing choices. As for their worth...well, the company encourages its possible customers to "Yield to temptation", but I strongly recommend you to take a very serious look at your bank account before venturing into this rather "adventurous" purchase.
