Complimentary iPods in the Virgin lounge


Virgin Airlines is giving the high-rollers in its departure lounges complimentary iPods to listen to while they wait for their flights. This begs three questions, though:
  1. What's the use of 40GB of someone else's idea of what kind of music a generic, notional traveller would like to hear?
  2. How do you sterlize the earbuds between use? Ever notice the wiry masses of ear-hair spilling out of the first class cabin? Squick.
  3. How do you hear your flight being called if you're wearing an iPod?
