I'm sure someone will try to MacGyver the PTV LCDs in F and C into connecting up with their laptops.

Additionally, recall the first few aircraft will not have iPod integration until a later point in time.

A. United First and United Business seats will feature Apple iPodŽ playback capability through the entertainment system. In addition, a USB port is built into the seat to enable charging of the iPod and other personal devices. Internet capability will not be available at launch but is a feature that United is considering when an economically viable industry solution becomes available. [Note: First three B767 and B747 aircraft will be retro-fitted with iPod capabilities at a later date].
