Coolest thing in an airport!

Okay, well I went to Atlanta airport (stopover flight) and I walked around the airport for fun. It was sooo cool. They had an iPod vending machine! You just go, put your credit card in, choose what you want and then it falls down the back so it doesnt break. They have the shuffles, nanos and videos. Also, iTunes gift cards and iSkins. It looked like a candy vending machine, but with iPods in them! I wanted to buy an iPod video, but I didn't have enough money, and I'm saving up for my friends pocket bike.

Also, like the Sprite vending machines had TVs built into them with the Sprite commercial on. It was cool.

Edit: Does it look like this by any chance?

Hmmmm, what a strange and random thing to have, Apple must desperately want people to buy iPods...

Just because they have a vending machine with iPods in, doesnt mean Apple are desperate to sell?
Its a great marketing stratergy - people get bored on planes, so sell them something that makes the journey less boring. (With music, videos and whatever else).

Apple aren't desperate, they're actually quite clever.

What's the point in that? Unless they came with music already on them then how are you gonner get music/videos onto the iPod before you get on the plane? Most airport computers don't allow downloads e.t.c and you can only play the crappy games iPods have on them for so long...

They're probably there for people to buy as gifts or something.
