Rent an iPad For Inflight Entertainment

OzPeter writes "Jetstar will start renting out of pre-loaded iPads as a form of inflight entertainment instead of the more typical seat back video system. No word in the article on how or if they will handle Wi-Fi connections, but interestingly it does mention that they will be usable during takeoff and landings — something that will be sure to spark lots of discussion regarding planes and modern electronics."

This sounds like a lame marketing stunt.

Marketing stunt, perhaps. Lame, well, that's extraordinarily subjective. Kind of like the "icrap" tag you put on the story and all the other anti-iPad posts you've put up on Slashdot. If you don't like the iPad (even though odds are you've never used one), fine. But perhaps you could just let it exist and go read stories about things you do like.
