Slightly OT, but why do airlines not just invest in decent tablets attached to seats that can remotely download IFE (like, I believe, lots of airlines offer with your own tablet)? They must be lighter and less power-hungry than what is typically offered, and are infinitely faster and have better touch screens.

Both Qantas and Virgin do this for long domestic flights here in Oz and some of the trans-Tasman flights too. Standard iPad (I think but could be an Android device) that connects through a WiFi network.

Increasingly on the shorter domestic flights you have to use your own device if you want to stream any of the IFE.
