Time for the Mac people to celebrate and the Mac haters to mourn. iPods are infiltrating the skies just a bit more every day. Volaris, a Mexican budget airline, has started renting out iPods loaded with Mexican television shows and music for about $4.50 per person per flight. The airline plans to add U.S. content as well.

Gizmodo has also pointed out that a small airplane manufacturer is planning to start using iPods as black box recorders, to which commenter oilcanboyd responds: "flight data recorder? my iPod didnt survive a three foot drop to the floor. Think it could survive a plane crash? In the words of Shao Khan, 'Dont make me laugh!'"
