Elton John and Swarovski Team Up for Bling-y iPods

Elton John and Swarovski Team Up for Colorful, Jewel Encrusted iPods
We've seen plenty of gaudy gadgets covered in bling: iPhone cases, cell phones, ear buds, even espresso machines, have been encrusted with jewels and gold. There is one thing all of those glitzy gizmos lacked, however, and that is the endorsement of the king of glam, Mr. 'Tantrums and Tiaras' himself, Elton John.

Swarovski and Sir John have teamed up to offer jewel-encrusted iPod Nanos, in the full range of colors, with a sizable 12.5-percent of the profit going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. These fabulous iPods come loaded with 'Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits' and feature an engraving of the pop legend's signature on the back.

Of course, you pay a premium for the honor of owning such a thing. $565 gets you the 8-gigabyte (GB) model, while the 16-GB fetches a jaw-dropping $636 (converted from British Pounds). [From: Luxist]
