Consumer Reports reported this today:

Queen scores an iPod from Obama
Turns out Queen Elizabeth II is more of a techie than we might have imagined. At least President Obama had better hope she is, since he just presented her with an Apple iPod.

The BBC reports:

"President Obama has given the Queen an iPod during their private meeting at Buckingham Palace. It contains footage of her state visit to the US in May 2007. The Queen has given the president a silver framed photograph of herself and her husband. The official picture is what she gives all visiting dignitaries."


He has apparently also given her a songbook signed by Richard Rodgers.

Is an iPod a better gift for a foreign dignitary than a box set of DVDs? What kind of music will the queen upload to it? And who knew Obama had such a penchant for giving electronics as gifts?

===================
What kind of music will the Queen upload to it? Indeed! British catters, now's your chance to bring British trad to the fore!

The Sex Pistols, I suppose. It's about her.
Then maybe some Freddie Mercury.

She already owns a mini iPod. I wonder what is on that?

She does? Then she can put the surplus one onto Freecycle and get bounced as a scam.

A 'one'Pod rather then an iPod, surely

I gather the iPod was loaded with videos and piccies of Her Maesty's last trip to USA for the 400th Anniversary of Jamestown .
