Apple partners up with major airlines for iPod integration

Made for iPod plane

If you’ve ever been on an airplane with your iPod, you know just as well as I do that it’s a pretty miserable experience.  First, you either have to hold up the device so you can see it, or prop it up against the seat in front of you.  You’ll be happy to hear...that day has ended.  Apple has announced they have partnered up with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United for in-flight iPod integration.  What is meant by that?  The companies are working to provide passengers with cables to connect up your iPod for charging, and even to play videos on the screen on the seat in front of you.  It has not yet been announced whether this will be available to coach passengers, or just first class.

According to MacRumors, Reuters is reporting that Air France “is, at least partially denying Apple’s announcement.

Apple is a partner of Air France but it is completely premature on this date of speaking about such a project

I wonder if the airplanes will say “Made for iPod” on the side of them.
