lol, too funny about the chatty neighbors! I though most airlines already had TV screens in the back of the headrests, that have most of these features. Of course I do like the idea of being able to watch what I want, when I want (hence the reason I always carry a portable DVD player with me, even had my PDA with several movies on SD last time). To bad they're always trying to find a way of squeezing blood from a turnip, by trying to get more cash outta us casual economy-class passengers. For what First-Class pays, they should get to keep the Archos or the other PMP!
Regarding noise-cancellation headsets, I've had a pair of the Sony earbuds that came out a few years ago. They work great on buses, in the office, and on planes, though it's easy to accidentally knock off the interchangeable earbud cushions. My wife liked them so much she swiped my pair and I ended up buying a second set (only ~$100 a pair). One other reason they're so great is that you don't really need to have the volume up too loud since most ambient noise is cancelled; e.g., my hearing will last just a bit longer.
