The Queen 'joins iPod revolution'

Not many grandmothers can say they have an iPod, but the Queen has taken up this latest way of listening to music, according to newspaper reports.

The Queen, who is 79 years old and counts Princes William and Harry among her grandchildren, is the proud owner of a £169 silver iPod, The Sun says.

The pocket-sized digital music players can hold up to 100,000 songs.

It's not the first time the Queen has joined the hi-tech revolution. In 2001, she got her first mobile phone.
