[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1664813, member: 234411"] Boy, I'd have to agree w/ [B]McBie[/B], i.e. a new iPad w/ decent storage (if you plan to load a bunch of movies, especially in HD/BD?) will be about $500 each, so you've only enough money for a dozen devices and that's not counting purchasing the films and loading each legally onto the devices. Now, portable DVD players are cheap and DVDs can be easily shared w/o worrying about copyright issues - I suspect that a set of batteries should provide enough runtime for 2-3 films of typical length - how long a flight are you considering? Take a look at some [URL="http://dvd-players.toptenreviews.com/portable/toshiba/toshiba-sdp93s-review.html"]Top Rated DVD Players[/URL] - just buy a LOT of batteries - can batteries be 'recharged' on your planes and/or are AC adapters an option? Finally, I'm curious why dozens of executives who are usually out going and talkative would ALL want to sit on a plane watching movies (or listening to music) w/ headphones vs. talking to each other - just curious?
