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.

I wonder if all of the content on the iPods have DRM. If not this could potentially end up being an easy way for a person with a laptop to get a bunch of free copyrighted material.

Volaris is a fairly new airline, they have super cheap flights to gain a market, they have great specials, and they have been doing great.
