Wow, the future arrived late.
I just experienced the new entertainment on a short Delta Flight from Raleigh to Atlanta, and I was shocked at my emotional level and that of my fellow passengers.  For years I wanted this bigger screen and a USB connector.

However the climb out commercials, followed by nearly endless public announcements about weather, snacks and Delta credit cards; has made it trivial.  Even on long flights the moving of headphone jack to blocking isle egress under the screen position has made this device use less desirable.

Watching my fellow travelers mimic my actions was fascinating.  I quickly navigated to moving map, then plugged my headsets in to my iPad for my flight’s real entertainment. Then looking up the isle, I saw this repeated by men sitting 2 and 4 rows further up.  With the new Delta iPad App’s “glass bottom plane” mode making the moving map lame, I’m thinking the airline should reduce the WiFi cost and save money used on the back of the seats.
