The 18k gold Shuffle: only $10,000

Pity the poor Shuffle. Even before all of Apple's music players took a back seat to the iPhone, the Shuffle had to endure the pomposity of its older sibling in 24k gold.

But the little guy is finally getting some revenge. According to BornRich, a German company called Xexoo has created a Shuffle cast in 18k gold for just $10,000, including 24-hour tech support. Before you rush out to take advantage of this bargain, be aware that the player is expecting--what else?--an upgrade. Instead of memory or other boring specs, though, the next version will have diamonds. At these prices, one would at least expect them to throw in a golden remote.

Well, if your going to spend $10K for an iPod, you should at least get it waterproofed by Swimman.com so that it doesn't get destroyed due to water damage. on top of that, you could swim with it if you got it waterproofed and got thier Hi-Fi waterproof headset!
