We've been complaining about the nightmare that is business trips for ages, but it looks like the future of flight will be completely geek and work friendly.
Gizmodo featured a sneak peek of the new Virgin America planes yesterday revealing each seat will include 110 volt AC current, ethernet and USB ports for charging iPods and phones. They will also accept a QWERTY for the linux-based, thin client, in flight entertainment system.
The planes will feature a "Red Inflight Entertainment System" that includes 18 channel live in-flight satellite entertainment, as well as access to Google Maps and pay-per-view movies The airline is launching August 8.

5Im flying to denmark in 10 days and fear my pod dying!

6Yeesh, I'm still waiting for JetBlue to fly to Portland from where I live. I wonder if Virgin will do me any good?
7Looks like something to try!
8I would actually want to fly now.
9That's pretty awesome. I like the ipod charging and the movie channels. I was on one trans-atlantic british airways flight years ago that had the screens in the back of every seat with the different movie channels. I loved it. I always hate when they put on a movie I don't care to see!
10Oooooh, shiny!!
Probably expensive. But still!! SHINY!
11Nice...I like!
12This is perfect considering I will be flying up to San Francisco to visit my good friend in a couple of months
And yes, I will be flying Virgin America.
13cool! now i just need an excuse to go somewhere they fly to!
14is that an actual picture from the plane? how very purple. i like the addition of usb etc. very cool! i always want to watch my own movies but run out of batteries.

16heh asian long and shorthauls have monitors (with 8~10 movies for example) and games and such but the usb port is smart!!
