Apple has inked deals with six air carriers to offer iPod services on their flights. Never again will your battery die in transit and strand you without your travel soundtrack of choice! Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM, and United will all be adding armrest charging docks and the ability to play your videos in seat-back screens in mid-2007. This seems like a very canny move on Apple’s part, because the iPod, as far as I’m concerned, is the best travel accessory of the past decade, and airplanes remain one of the only places where you can’t charge the little buggers. Announcing this development on Tuesday, the same day the Microsoft released its pod-like Zune, is just icing on the cake. (via inFlightHQ)
