Interesting article about Apple looking for an airline to host Itunes and possibly more applications. Doubtful US would ever do such a thing but there are some neat things happening in IFE.
Apple Talks to airline IFE developers...
Another interesting part at the end.... it would be nice to see US Airways introduce an IFE product on it's new jets, and here's one that is digital, and doesn't appear to take up much weight... Imagine US Airways as the larger, international, JetBlue....
Meanwhile, Thales’ TopSeries i-4500 has been approved for use on Air Canada’s Embraer 175 and 190 regional jets, making the French company the first supplier of an in-seat, all-digital IFE system for the Brazilian manufacturer’s aircraft.
The video and audio on-demand system dispenses with the need for a box of electronics under each passenger seat.
