I am sorry this is something that bothers you so much.  [edit: not worth it...]Everyone that matters? A bushman of the kalahari doesn't matter in your grand design?  Or what about a lower-class urban family or even a middle-class family who's parent has lost a job recently and don't think a tablet is as important as paying the cable bill.  These people sometimes fly because they have to for some reason or another.  Elderly people, or even people in their 50s-60s-70s, might not have tablets, and they fly fairly regularly.  In your eyes, do their children suck because they didn't buy them a new tablet?And when is it that you think tablets will have 100% saturation to the people you believe "matter"?In the past three weeks I have taken 2 round trip flights, one from home to Philadelphia on a short 1.5hr flight and getting up to walk to the restroom I saw that about 15% had something they were watching.  Of those, most were phone sized and insufficient (for most) to watch a movie on.  The rest were split into laptops and tablets. Have you ever used a laptop and had to get up to let someone out of the row for the restroom?  Laptops aren't ideal either.The other flight was cross country to Los Angeles and the ratios were the same, except people were getting up and down a lot more often, and with a laptop, you would be inconvenienced even more.  And your battery would likely be dead too.And he watches full length movies on his android phone?  I have a Droid X, one of the largest smartphone screens and it sucks to watch movies on. I would rather wait to get home.  For a long flight, if I could rent a tablet with a nice menu of movies to watch or wireless movie access for $4-$5 I would.The grandparents may have internet at home, but they likely do not have tablets.</blockquote>
