iPads for Jetstar passengers?
(contributed by Lexi)Renai LeMay tells us of the plan by Jetstar to rent iPads to passengers for $10...
Based on demand for the iPads as part of the trial, we’ll be looking to roll out the devices across our entire domestic and international network later in the year.
Sounds good in theory, but have you ever held an iPad up where you can read it, for two hours? You could always put it down on your tray table and try to avoid the vicious screen reflections :)
Lean-forward vs. lean-back media
(contributed by Scott)Jeremy Rue tells discusses what the iPad might mean for 'lean forward' vs 'lean back':
The iPad is a particularly interesting device, because it aims to bring the Web into the living room where it could become a lean-back media device. I think this is why so many magazines are excited about delivering their content to the iPad. With tablets, people might actually spend time consuming media rather than frantically searching.
