Hi,
This is my first post to this forum, so forgive me if this as repetitive.
Very exciting news, especially for us long-haulers!

cerealmarketer and fellow readers, can you give your best guess:
Would this new 'iPod dock' feature be added as cabins or seats are refurbed, or as new aircraft are introduced?
I wonder if the Mid-07 date reflects the production schedule for refits, or the introduction of new aircraft that have the newer iPod IFE feature set?

Cheers,
Ben
Welcome to the board. Best guess would be as they are refurbed / put in for heavy maintenance checks. Rumor is the 757s are being converted to have video screens in seatbacks (they currently don't) starting next year, so that would be a logical place to start.
