There was some noise several months ago about iPods being sold in vending machines at some point. Looks like the concept has hit the street. Or at least the concourse.

The "Notes from the terminal ward" blog pointed out a recent iPod vending machine siting at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

I can see this making sense. Airports and airplanes are places where people spend time waiting to take off or land with little to do. However, the iPods are of little immediate use unless they are charged and loaded with some music. There's no word on that at this point.
