If you fly as an American Airlines premium passenger, you'll get to play with a Galaxy Tab. If you actually fly the plane, though, you'll have to make do with an iPad. According to ZDNet, the carrier has already won FAA approval to use iPads “as electronic chart and digital flight manual readers,” making it the world's first airline to be totally tablet friendly. A source close to the situation tells ZDNet that AA “will begin iPad operations on B-777 aircraft” before expanding to other planes, and that both first and second generation devices have been cleared for cockpit use.
