Apple has teamed up with some of the world?s biggest airlines to offer in-flight iPod entertainment systems. Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United will offer passengers iPod seat connections which power and charge iPods during flight, and allow video and photos stored on their iPods to be viewed on seat back displays.

“There is no better travelling companion than an iPod, and now travellers can power their iPods during flight and even watch their iPod movies and TV shows on their seat back displays,? said Greg Joswiak, Apple?s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. ?We?re excited to work with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United to offer iPod users an even better in-flight experience.”

The new technology will board planes in mid 2007 and Apple will also be working with Panasonic Avionics to bring even more airlines in-flight iPod connectivity in the future. More information is available at www.apple.com/uk
