To be honest: even though I fly a lot, I never really cared for in flight entertainment. Good food is useful, as is a power plug – but movies? No go.
However, taking a look at any frequent flier website quickly reveals that yours truly is a minority: the average flier seems to value entertainment more than a couple of hours of undisturbed work time.
A few airlines have deployed iPads in the past – according to NeoWin, United is now taking a stab with Zune HD devices:
The trial will take place on long haul international flights from the United States. Microsoft has worked hard to customize 500 devices and provide unique content for those flying with United Airlines. The software giant has held meetings with content providers and movie studios to pre-load the devices with the latest content just out of movie theatres and pre-DVD. Customers will be able to loan the devices onboard flights.
Should you be flying to Australia or Hong Kong in the next months, keep your eyes peeled!
