Ipod's for In-Flight Entertainment
On Tuesday, Apple Computer, makers of the popular iPod announced that six airlines would soon be able to provide seamless integration of iPod services in transit as well as for the in-flight entertainment systems.
Beginning mid-2007, airlines including Delta, Air France, Continental, Emirates, KLM and United will start offering their passengers iPod seat connections which power and charge their iPods during flight.
The above mentioned airlines will also allow the video content on passenger’s ipods to be viewed on the seat-back displays.
According to Ray Neidl, senior airline analyst at Calyon Securities who said that since airlines were looking to innovate their entertainment systems, it was natural that they would be attracted to the iPod, which has become ubiquitous in today’s world. Currently Apple is also working with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to bring even more leading airlines in-flight iPod connectivity in the future.
