Air-Pods at 30,000 Feet


I have recently read a topic about Apple computers cutting new deals with major airlines to introduce in-flight iTunes stores.


I think that this would be a great add-on to the iTunes stores, this way you can take your iPod on a flight (which I am sure you already do) and fill it up with fresh new songs and albums.


A neat feature would be providing in-seat iPod-ready plug-ins to charge the iPod's battery while transferring data. "Fly-Tunes" would sound Applish if you ask me, since AirTunes has already been used before by Apple.


Picture it for a minute, you would be flying at the altitude of 30,000 feet in the air for hours on end, bored! So you reach out to your credit card, and burn some plastic away (not literally) to "download" music, Tv shows and podcasts that you could enjoy throughout the flight.


If Apple manages to pull this off, I would love to see how the competition would retaliate, simply because this move shows how powerful Apple really is.


PS. I think they should change the word "Download" to "Air-Load" once you're flying in the air, because "upload" means transfer (data) to another computer system, and you're not transferring data from your iPod.
