Sure, security at airports has been somewhat of a nightmare lately, but these days when the modern man travels by air for business or pleasure, there are few things we can’t live without. Carry on essentials include an iPod to drown out the chipper stewardess’s compelling monologue, a lap top for work (I mean DVD’s), and a cell phone to ring your ride home that you have landed and they better step on the gas.
“…there’s a new way to spend time at the airport before boarding your aircraft. From today passengers travelling via Amsterdam Airport Schiphol can download travel information, music, audio books and videos…”
Leave it to those crafty Dutch to create the next generation of “digital dessert” by introducting Fuel For Travel (company plug above). Though FFT is not compatable with my favorite Apple products yet, the iPod vending machines powered by Zoom Systems that have been popping up at airports couldn’t be a better fit for this on the go download station. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my hour and a half wait than to buy some electronics and fill them with goodies for the trip.
