The skin on top of android comes to the fore again. American airlines seem to have put a skin on top of android to help them provide specific services to passengers. This means fragmentation, but it also demonstrates the power which android brings to the table for such specific scenarios.

Starting today, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available to first- and business-class passengers on a number of American Airlines international and domestic flights as an option for in-flight entertainment. The Galaxy Tab will replace current entertainment systems and be loaded with 70 movies, plus unspecified TV and music options; the airline also plans to bring more content to the Galaxy Tab, including Wi-Fi, games, and reading material. American Airlines is claiming it's the first domestic airline to offer a "branded" tablet to passengers (though its pilots will have iPads in the cockpit as soon as this Friday).
