iPods on Planes

Recently Apple has made a deal with four major airlines to let their passengers be able to connect their iPods so that they may charge, or watch movies on the screen in front of them through their iPod. The four airlines are Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Dubai's Emirates, and United Airlines. Also there is talk that apple will make deals to put iPod ports in new model cars. All of these new plans were released when Microsoft introduced their new music player Zune. iPod has sold almost 70 million iPods, and over 1.5 billion songs through iTunes. However it seems as if by Microsoft coming out with a digital music player Apple feels it needs to step up in the game to make iPods more becoming to the consumer than the Zune.
