British Airways has announced it is testing iPads with in-flight crew members to enhance customer service.
The iPads equip cabin crew members with a bevy of information on travelers, including their location on the plane, Executive Club status, previous travel arrangements, travel companions, special meal requests and other preferences.
When Apple launched the iPad in April 2010, it changed the way most other manufacturers approached the idea of a tablet.
As Apple continues threatening Samsung with the mother of all lawsuits for allegedly copying the iPad with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the fact remains: Most tablets look almost exactly like the iPad, especially from the front. But even though they look the same, the pretenders are dropping like flies, the latest casualty being HP’s attempt, the slow-selling TouchPad that was deep-sixed on Thursday.
