I'm pleased to see that Emirates now finally does offer this on its newest refurbished A380s, but when is the rest of the industry going to catch up?
I got excited last time I flew United (Dec) from LHR-SFO as there were references to how to use Bluetooth it in IFE system, but following the instructions given sent you to go find a non-existent setting option.
