    First it was the Queen, now The Pope has received an iPod. The Catholic News Service is reporting that Pope Benedict XVI recently visited the Vatican Radio headquarters to celebrate the station's 75th anniversary, where the employees presented him with a white iPod nano with "To His Holiness, Benedict XVI" engraved on the back. So, what's on the Pope's iPod? Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky, plus Vatican Radio programming in English, Italian and German.When asked what the thought of the little device, The Holy Father replied, "I'm just waiting for podcasts from Howard Stern." That last part was a joke.[Via MacDailyNews]
