CNS STORY: Vatican Radio employees present pope with specially loaded iPod nano

A group of Vatican Radio employees gave Pope Benedict XVI a brand new iPod nano loaded with special Vatican Radio programming and classical music.

To honor the pope’s first visit to the radio’s broadcasting headquarters, the radio’s technical staff decided the pencil-thin, state-of-the-art audio player would make the perfect gift.

Now that Vatican Radio offers podcasts in eight different languages, the pope has the technological capability to plug in and import the radio’s audio files.

Pope Benedict visited the programming and broadcasting hub of “the pope’s radio” March 3 to mark the station’s 75th anniversary.

Owning an iPod first meant you were bleeding edge. Then, you were cutting edge. Then, you were cool. Then, you were simply normal…

Now that the POPE has one, however – what does it mean???
