Jetstar launches in-flight iPads
Jetstar has announced
the roll-out of 3000 Apple Pad 1 and Pad 2s across its fleet, with more to be
released once the tablets are installed throughout the Jetstar Asia network.
The devices will be available on flights longer than two hours for a fee of
between SAU1O ($NZ13) and $AU1S ($NZ19.50). The units will come pre-loaded with
music, TV shows and music videos, games, ebooks and magazines, accessible
through a custom-built Jetstar app, and will include locally produced
content.
The Pads have been
modified in several ways to make them suitable for the cabin environment. Each
device will come in a custom case that prevents users from accessing the home
button and the sync cable, ensuring that Jetstar settings are maintained and
users are unable to upload their own content.
