Footballer David Beckham is affectionately known as golden balls - now he has a gold iPod touch to add to his collection.
Beckham played his centenary match on the England team against France last week. To celebrate his 100th match representing the country squad, his team clubbed together to buy him an iPod touch - with a difference - it's gold plated.
The Daily Telegraph has the story, and this clearly shows the magic 32GB capacity printed on the back, meaning it's a top-of-the range iPod touch the former England captain is sporting. Of course, it's not clear if he's going to use the device to keep track of football scores using wifi, but it is likely he'll use the device to replay key moments from his matches recorded and passed along to him by England's coaches and the popular Mac-only SportsCode application.

Um...
Beckham hasn't been playing for 100 years. He's played 100 games for the England national team.

Its soccer or football to most, so I ask: 100 years or 100 games, what the difference? Watching Beckham is like watching the US trying to win the World Cup.

Ugh....how very tacky. In recent times, I've seen diamond crusted iPods and iPhones and gold-plated ones. The diamond crusted ones are the worst! It makes me think of the salt encrusted process of cooking some kinds of fish like salmon. The gold-plated ones are also tacky.
Tackiness aside, I wonder how the teammates were able to get this done. Apple doesn't provide this special service, does it? If the teammates went to a third-party for this plating, wouldn't that void the original Apple warranty?
A neat thing would be for Apple to offer either a stainless steel brushed look (a la iPhone) or the shiny reflective original metal for the backing. I personally like the stainless steel brushed look because it doesn't attract finger prints.
Warranty?!
God...he's a bloody millionaire many times over. You think he's worried about the warranty! :-)

This thing is going in a trophy case for sure.
