There is something inherently wrong with coating something that's originally worth $79 in gold. When that something is an already brightly colored shuffle, which only has one gigabyte of flash memory, it's just plain ridiculous. Of course, that kind of reasoning never stopped anyone. Born Rich uncovered news that Germany's Xexoo is offering an iPod Shuffle covered in 18 carat gold for 14,000 EUR, or $10,000 USD. As if that wasn't enough, if you want your little shuffle to have diamonds you'll soon be in luck, as they are adding bling bling as an upgrade.
It always gets better, doesn't it?

It seems that everything has to be dipped in gold these days! Yeah, it looks kinda cool, but it's not worth the price tag in my opinion. Plus it's going to look terrible as soon as I get my fingerprints all over it!
