Watch inflight movies and TV on your personal device

https://hub.united.com/en-us/news/co...al-device.aspx

"Starting this April, we’re rolling out our new personal device entertainment system onboard select aircraft. With this new service, sponsored by the MileagePlus® Explorer Card, you can choose from over 150 movies and nearly 200 TV shows and watch them free of charge on your personal device.

Most planes will be equipped with the new system very soon, and we’ll have it installed on most domestic aircraft by the end of 2014. We’ll begin on Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Boeing 747-400 and select 777-200 aircraft, followed by additional fleets. In the end, all United-operated flights will have some form of entertainment..."

This could be good (especially on a TATL 747 in Economy) but only if power plugs are also available at all seats. Even fully charged, my Personal Device will not last for the whole flight!
