Seat-back screens to be ditched by 2020?

by Hiufu Wong

Aircraft seatback TVs may be obsolete by 2020. 

Instead, lightweight and easy-to-update mobile devices like tablets or iPads will be tomorrow's answer to in-flight entertainment (IFE), according to one aviation expert. 

?Now, every three or four months, there is a new airline introducing tablets,? said Ravi Madavaram, aerospace and defense consultant for Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific, a consulting firm.

?It is cost-saving and airlines just cannot ignore the benefit of tablets for long.?
