Coming up to long/medium flights I've often thought, cool - a period of distraction free time, I can read, watch films, write, play video games.

In reality, it always sucks for those things. Crap in seat displays, crook neck on a tablet/book, no comfortable typing position, etc.

I mean it it works, but I wouldn't say its ideal - particularly in cattle class.

So weather this is the solution or not, I don't know, but think theres definitely _something_ in a compact, portable 'Head Up - Hands Down' device form factor.
