I would like this feature also. It would be nice to check my email occasionally and check the news and market when on an 8 hour flight but I don`t want to spend the whole 8 hours surfing the web or watching DirecTV. I think there is still a large number of travlers who are on vacation and not trying to cut a business deal and who just want to relax and watch a movie. My wife would watch every movie on the damn thing if she could and I expect a lot of others are the same way.
