I am still highly skeptical, though. 250 passengers over 5 access points all watching video at the same time no problem? I doubt it.
It hasn't been any problems in the aircraft trials they've been running since February (or was it March.... can't remember for sure!). It's been a very stable platform and quite well received.
As John Eacott points out above, there was talk early on of allowing people to download an app from iTunes so they could BYO device. I guess this hasn't panned out yet due to the issues associated with wifi on but aeroplane mode on as well?!?! It'd be a great option if they could get that up and going!
Looking forward to getting the iPad up and going with the Jepp view charts. Hoping the signal on the side wall will be good enough for the GPS to keep using Ozrunways too!
