At Virgin's Atlantic Airways Lounge, in London's Heathrow Airport, the company is now loaning out iPods to customers. This service will soon be coming to JFK as well. :)<br /><br />"Passengers can borrow an iPod to listen to music (courtesy of the Virgin Megastores) before boarding their long-haul flights. The iPod is popular throughout Europe; the iPod Mini is supposed to ship worldwide in July instead of April. Virgin's lounges, known for their upper-class amenities, feature full business facilities, an open bar, hot meals, haircuts, massages and even electronic golf driving ranges."

:confused totally: How will the customers load music? Are they going to loan out USB/FW cables? Preload the iPods with Virgin label music? Or something else?

You got me. I was wondering the same thing. I'm assuming it comes preloaded with an ample library of audio.
