So is Virgin Atlantic from what I recall they developed the app. in 
house.  Unfortunately, don't have the link to the article.

Biz are realizing the cost of software.  For a similar app. on Windows 
CE (or whatever it is called now), the airline would have to pay lic. 
per passenger seat plus for the server.

The Linux solution: development cost (once), software deployment cost 
(lic.) to all their aircrafts close to $0.
