The market of MP3 players is overcrowded as we speak, and will most certainly become even more so, since a new player is launched almost on a daily basis. However, it's not everyday that we come across such a piece of technological jewelry as the one you're about to see as follows, namely the Thomson Scenium MP3 Player, a device that sports both very exquisite looks and some pretty interesting technical features.

Marketed as the "Black Diamond", the Scenium really is a technological gem. It has a very sleek look (elegant, cold, black, so the name fits the look perfectly), but also some pretty interesting specs, as for example the 8 Gb hard disk, the 4.5 cm diagonal OLED screen or the full sensitive panel navigation. Moreover, the Scenium can playback just about any type of music file, DRM or non-DRM, as well as WMAs, MPEG-4 and DivX video files.

Here is the list of the most important features and characteristics this "diamond in black" has to offer:

- Dimensions: 47 x 90 x 12 cm;
- Weight: 57 grams;
- Battery: Li-Ion internal rechargeable battery;
- Battery life: up to 15 hours of continuous functioning;
- Storage capacity: 8 GB hard disk, up to 4000 songs;
- Full sensitive panel navigation 1,8" (4.5 cm) full color OLED display (262K color);
- Audio, photo, video (WMV, MPEG-4, DivX) playback;
- Compatible with all music files, DRM or non-DRM;
- In-ear earphones.

Quite surprisingly, this real piece of jewelry is not even that expensive. Thus, the "Black Diamond" will be sold for just around $300, which is not that much, especially considering just how cool this device looks and what it can do.
