During a flight?

[GlenL]

For those who rent movies for in flight entertainment:

1) which provider do you rent from?
2) how much iPad space does a movie rent require, if at all?
3) what's a typical cost nowadays?
4) how do you return once done?

Occasionally I do 12 hour flight, and I need to be able to rent and return from another country, etc. Have never rented a movie online...

I just rent from iTunes. The cost is between 1-5 dollars depending on movie and quality. The HD movies are usually 5 to rent for a 30 day rental but 24 hours once you begin movie. The size is about 3-5 GB. it deletes the movie automatically.

That's cool. Thanks!

I also use iTunes for downloading movie and TV show rentals.

Same as above.

This is my iPad on her last transpacific flight - she gets her own business class seat next to mine. =)

I have not yet used my iPad on a plane, but I have used in on trains and a bus. On the bus, I had wifi! On the train, I read and played games.

Sorry for the slight hijack, but what bus(line), how fast was the wifi?

Many public libraries have movies you can check out by downloading off the 'net.

Peter Pan/ Greyhound, not sure of the speed, but it was fast enough for me to e-mail and surf the web without noticing any slowdown.
