I have been on Malaysia Airlines's jets and they have always had these goodies. They had a complete entertainment system including a SNES emulator + other random mix of games.

This is like hearing about a toy company (nerf) coming out with the frisbee or a car company today coming out with their first CVT transmission. ]]>Nov 21st 2007 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/
Well, regardless. All of those tools who fly, will, for some reason go out of his or her way to scratch them, crack them, or otherwise screw them up within a month costing the company thousands to replace year over year. *shrug* I bring my own, just let me plug it in so I don't have to look at some broken-down gear.

I also enjoyed the belly cam on the plane that allowed us all to tune in as we flew over a beautiful snowcapped greenland. ]]>Nov 21st 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/Nov 21st 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/
I don't mind it being just a 128k connection, as long as they don't screw with all my traffic on it. I may want to torrent a few albums from jamendo.com to listen to on the flight, or stay in touch via VoIP (Don't fret, you would have noise canceling headphones.)]]>Nov 21st 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/Nov 21st 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/

If you travel at all regularly in economy and can't afford to spend the big bucks or can't convince your employeer to fork over the cash either -- economy plus (more legroom) is a godsend.
Let's give credit -- where credit is due. They are trying to make the traveling experience a bit more enjoyable. ]]>Nov 22nd 2007 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/]]>Nov 21st 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/Nov 21st 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/
This is business class, lie flat beds, true lie flat. There is STILL a first class cabin, which was also upgraded. This is the best product in North America, that's why it's such a big deal. It's United, the world's second largest airline.]]>Nov 21st 2007 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/Nov 21st 2007 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/Nov 23rd 2007 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/Nov 24th 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/united-offers-up-lcds-in-flight-entertainment-servers-on-recent/
I have flown in other carrier's sliding board seats (4-8 degree down slope) and was never comfortable in them. They are correct in saying "At United, the world is truly, truly flat".

In the photo gallery mentioned above you see me checking in the box of custom printed m&ms that I gave out to the first and business passengers. Also you see pics of me in the custom printed polo shirt I had made up.]]>Nov 25th 2007 1:07AM
