Apple cuts deals with major Airlines for ipod use in Flight
TECH TUESDAY
Apple has cut a deal with six major airlines for the use of ipods in flight.
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) on Tuesday announced a partnership with six major airlines to integrate the iPod with in-flight entertainment systems beginning in mid-2007. Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United will begin offering their passengers iPod seat connections that power and charge their iPods during flight and allow the video content on their iPods to be viewed on the their seat back displays. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
This news came out right after Microsoft’s Launch of the Zune, a revolutionary player that is predicted to knock the ipod into second place.
I SAY:
MICROSOFT, known to make it later but make it better, definitely has a go with the new zune, their new $249.00 portable music player. However, ipod has become a household name that won’t be easy to replace… and it doesn’t look like the ipods are going anywhere, for the time being anyway.
“MICROSOFT, known to make it later but make it better”
What has MS ever made better? Cheaper maybe, but better?
Well, for one, Microsoft has invested billions of Dollars to research and perfect this product. The Zune has built in Wireless connection, which allows it to communicate with other zunes nearby. this is a step ahead of the ipod.
Wow, that sounds pretty neat
