Yeah! Unlike onboard cell phone usage, here’s an onboard enhancement that makes sense.

Apple Computer today announced it is teaming up with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United to deliver the first seamless integration between iPods and in-flight entertainment systems. These six airlines will begin offering their passengers iPod seat connections which power and charge their iPods during flight and allow the video content on their iPods to be viewed on the their seat back displays.

In-flight iPod connectivity will be available beginning in mid-2007. Apple is also working with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to bring even more airlines in-flight iPod connectivity in the future.
