When an ipod Just Isn't Enough

Word has it that President Obama, who is visiting the UK for the G-20 Summit, presented Queen Elizabeth with an ipod. Apparently, the aforementioned ipod was loaded with photos of the queen during her last visit to the United States, but what kind of gift is an ipod to a reigning monarch in her 80s? After giving the Prime Minister of England a boxed set of classic American movies on DVD (that were apparently non-compatible with British DVD players), this is another indicationn that the White House is in dire need of a top-notch protocol officer...or perhaps a staffer that could give more thought and substance to these official gifts. Do they really believe that DVDs and ipods are not availble overseas?
