10:00AM Angus Kidman | Options for in-seat entertainment on planes have improved dramatically in recent years, but for the most part still restricts you to whatever the airline chooses to program. While planes like the A380 have upped the ante, it’s still relatively rare to be able to view your own content on a screen bigger than your portable media device. However, the situation should get better.
