If your music is as precious to you as gold, then you might want a gold iPod to complement it. With a little spare cash (between $600 and $800, depending on the size of your iPod) you too can have your iPod plated in 24-carat gold. You can currently order the 8GB Nano, the 30GB iPod with Video, or the 80GB iPod with Video with your choice of a black or white front face.

Okay, it's more than a bit tacky, and nothing on the subway screams "steal me" like a gold-plated iPod. But something tells me that the person who has the disposable cash for a gold-plated iPod isn't going to ride the subway anyway. [ Via NewLaunches ]
