G-20 Pomp and Circumstance

A story on the Wall Street Journal today primarily talks about G-20 meeting highlights, but I found the last few paragraphs even more enlightening:

"The Obamas presented the queen with an iPod loaded with footage of her last visit to the U.S. and gave her a rare song book autographed by American composer Richard Rodgers. That continued a multimedia theme started this winter when the president presented Mr. Brown with a set of DVDs, a gift deemed insufficient by the British press. The queen gave the Obamas a framed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh."

Our president and first lady give an iPod to what, to the British, is considered one of the most important persons in the world?! And in return, she gives them a picture of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh? I don't know politics that well to know if this is good or bad etiquette, but it seems to me like a royal white leather glove to the face of America.
