While shooting the breeze with the avionics techs today, I started to
sketch out the perfect aircraft music system.

Basically, we came up with an in-dash MP3 player that looks very much
like my daughter's portable MP3 player. It would consist of a little
display (to tell you what's playing), a volume control, a "skip to next
song" button, and a standard USB port...

...that you can stick any "thumb-drive" into. (They were selling 1 GB
flash drives at Staples last week for $12 bucks.) The whole thing
could fit into a standard 3" hole, weigh just a few ounces, have no
moving parts, and costs less than a hundred bucks.

Is anyone marketing anything like this for aircraft? Build this
thing into an intercom, and, wow, you'd have everything you need.

Air Gizmo, the guys that make the 2/3/496 mount make a mount for the I-Pod.
I saw one installed in a 601XL a couple of weeks ago. The neat thing about
this is the I=Pod also comes in a video version that in my 2-place would be
perfect for the passenger to watch.
