Rent an iPad For Inflight Entertainment

Posted by samzenpus on from the would-you-like-an-apple-product-with-your-meal? dept.

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."

    Yeah, Slashdot is essentially a spamhost working for Apple these days. "News for nerds"? "Stuff that matters"? This story is neither. Not even the worst offenders among the fanboys can find it interesting at all. I can't imagine Apple doesn't pay Slashdot a significant amount for keeping their hype going.
