Some of the data (speed and altitude) aren't that important (and don't change dramatically) for most of the flight, whereas remaining flight duration is probably the most important data point to most people. Note that remaining flight time shows on the program selection screens.
I'm completely blanking on who it was, though it might've been BA - they had the best airshow. It was completely interactive. You could play music while watching, choosing the music while in the airshow. You chose what to display - whether the map, or other info (outside temperature, speed, flight time, time to destination, time at origin, time at destination, time where you're located...) plus you could zoom in on the map and really play around with it. That's what I want to see!
