I would like to see 4 things on more airlines...

1) Camera's mounted on the front, bottom and rear of planes. ANA has a camera on the landing gear of their 747's (maybe other planes also). When you taxi, takeoff and land, you can watch on the overhead screens. After takeoff they switch to a down view. A rear view would be cool on takeoff

2) map's like discussed above

3) ATC communications like on UA channel 9

4) A movable/zoomable camera mounted under the plane that could be controlled by the pilots. When I fly from Denver to Vancouver, we do a turn over yellowstone park. It would be real cool if the pilots could zoom in on old faithfull or other national landmarks.

I love things that show you where you are, whats around and whats happening. Just a thought.
