Apple Teams up with Six Airlines to offer iPod Integration

Earlier today, Apple announced that they have teamed with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United to offer iPod integration. Soon Passengers of these airliners would be able to charge their iPod and view video content on their iPod on the back seat display. Apple also said that they are working with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to bring more airlines into iPod connectivity.

iPod is the world’s most popular music player and is my favorite traveling companion. iPod dock has already arrived for cars, but since majority of commuters travel by Train or Bus, it would be a great idea to integrate a charger dock within them too.

    But lately learned that it does not have those features – so I think I will need to buy a PDA separately. >
