Qantas Airways' Jetstar Flights To Feature Apple iPads!

Qantas Airways, the popular Australian airline company, has recently announced that it plans to offer in flight iPads to customers traveling on its Jetstar (a Qantas subsidiary low cost airline) flights. The news comes following several months of Qantas testing the popular tablet. As 9to5Mac reports: the airline has been renting iPads out to customers since June, in an attempt to explore a new form of in flight entertainment. For $10 (AUS), passengers on Qantas flights can enjoy the luxury of playing around with Apple's "magical and revolutionary device." Following this, a Jetstar spokesman recently told Dow Jones Newswires that they plan to make the program a permanent feature of Jetstar flights:

We’re in the final stages of putting in place what would be a broader roll out across the network. We’re in ongoing discussion with the manufacturer around a more integrated network proposition.

A more integrated network proposition, you say? I wonder what that could entail. Obviously, the iPad is centered around users' ability to load it up with cool and interesting stuff - like music, games, apps, and movies. Perhaps Qantas plans to make content available to stream. This would make sense: each iPad wouldn't be cluttered with a wide variety of media. Instead, users would be able to select the media they wanted to interact with. We'll keep you posted on this interesting story. Hopefully, in time other airlines will follow suit, and start making iPads available to their customers, too. Obviously Qantas' trials have labeled this mode of in flight entertainment as being successful. What do you think?
