OK, so you're a pretty important person in your own right. You know, the most powerful man in the free world, leader of the biggest of the world super powers. But then you have to meet someone who perhaps isn't quite as powerful as you, but sure as hell is more famous than you are. And you have to take a gift. So, what do you give the person who just about has everything?

Well, if you're US President Barack Obama and you have to meet Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain at the beginning of the G20 summit, the answer is simple. Get her an iPod! And that's just what President Obama did on his recent visit to Buckingham Palace where he and First Lady Michelle Obama had their first meeting with Britain’s first family.

The Obama's were hosted by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace in the lead up to the G20 summit which is attended by the leaders of the 20 biggest economies in the world.

The Obama's personalised the gift of the iPod Classic to the Queen by loading it with video of the Queen's 2007 visit to Washington and Virginia, making it the perfect gift for the 82-year-old monarch.

So there you have it. When the call comes and you have to meet a world leader, what better introductory gift than an Apple iPod - the gift fit for a Queen!
