Qantas to offer iPads for in-flight entertainment

Suzanne Tindal for ZDNet:

Qantas has clocked up an Apple trifecta this week, announcing that it will roll out iPads to its 767 fleet to stream its entertainment.

The tablets will be placed in the pocket before each seat.

Most of the planes outfitted with the iPads will be flying routes through eastern Australia. Qantas also announced that it’s phasing out Blackberry devices in favor of iPhones and that it’s offering pilots iPads to replace paperwork and flight manuals they’d otherwise have to carry.
