Coffee? Soda? iPod?

For 50 pesos, or about $5, Mexican air carrier Volaris will rent you a 30-gigabyte iPod pre-loaded with music and Mexican TV shows. Public relations officer Alfonso Collantes describes how they went out, bought a bunch of iPods, and begin providing them as in-flight entertainment in this Reuters report from over the weekend. It's a lot simpler to implement than building integrated seat-back entertainment systems and the iPods are already deployed and in-use. Other Airlines may promise iPod entertainment. Volaris has already delivered.
