Coming soon: iPod connections on planes

Apple Computer Inc., maker of the top-selling iPod, teamed up with six airlines so passengers can watch videos stored on their devices from in-flight monitors.

United, Continental, Delta, Air France, Emirates and KLM will offer iPod connections on flights starting in mid-2007, Cupertino, California-based Apple said in a statement today. The company also said it is working with Panasonic Avionics Corp. to bring the technology to more airlines.

Airline passengers will also be able to charge their iPods in flight as they watch videos on their seat back displays. Financial terms of the deals weren't disclosed, said Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr.
