American Airlines makes the skies friendlier for gadgets

Nothing is worse than forgetting your entertainment when you get on a long flight. You have nothing to do but read their crappy in-flight magazines and get inappropriately drunk if you didn't bring some music or videos to watch. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Well, American Airlines doesn't want your drunken ass causing any trouble, so they're gonna start putting portable media players loaded with content — the Archos 605 to be exact — on their planes. These will be free to the richies in first and business class, and will be available for a fee to the plebes in coach. They'll come with the lux Bose QuietComfort 3 headphones and a bunch of movies and shows for you to enjoy. See, flying isn't so bad, is it? At least when you're in first class.
