MAYBE THIS IS WHERE GD GOT THE IDEA! LOL READ FROM director of cabin electronics for General Dynamics AT LAST YEARS WAEA Conference

Even competitors -- most of whom are in town for this week's World Airline Entertainment Association conference -- had nice things to say about the portable device.

"It is a good idea, light and small," said Dale Linder, director of cabin electronics for General Dynamics. Linder's company yesterday introduced EmPower YES!, an in-flight entertainment system that can store 28 feature films and 100 hours of music. Because the system is embedded in each seat of an aircraft, it is heavier and more costly than the APS.

That extra payload might not seem like much. But some installed entertainment systems can weigh more than 2,000 pounds per aircraft, which translates to about $80,000 per year in fuel.
