Well, they have images of the Sheikh and his forefathers etched on tall glassy highrises…and they’ve tried almost every other construction gimmick.

Al muhim – will they pay Apple for the use of their iPod design?

Steve Jobs is going to be after them… Apple is notoriously litigious.

That being said, perhaps they can make a deal whereby Apple makes a Gulf edition iPod, in solid 24k gold with diamond controls.
