iPod Video Displays are Soon to be on Airline Seats

United Airlines, among a handful of other airlines (Air France, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM and Emirates), are looking into the idea of ‘upgrading their entertainment systems’. iPods will soon be able to get connected to passenger seats.

Battery life as a result won’t be used up for the time spend flying, stored iPod movies being able to be viewed on much larger screens placed in the back of the seat in front of the passenger.

It remains to be seen whether this technology is going to filter down to the packed isles in economy or not. What seems certain is that those people booking into business class will gain these benefits.

The actual reasons for this move are simple. Airlines will be able to provide a cheaper form of entertainment for their passengers whilst at the same time promoting Apple’s share of the digital music player market.

What further ipod tricks will be played remains a mystery. One thing we, the consumer, can be assured is that the evolution of this product will remain constant.
