Qantas tests iPad as in-flight entertainment

Starting in October, customers on select Qantas flights will be able to choose an iPad for their in-flight entertainment. The iPads will come with pre-loaded TV shows, movies and music to help pass the time on the plane. Eventually, Qantas hopes to deliver this multimedia content wirelessly so passengers can use their own device to watch in-flight movies and listen music while flying.

Qantas is not the only airline to offer iPads to their travelers. Jetstar is renting iPads to passengers on their A320 flights in Australia and Asia and British Airways is handing out the tablet to passengers in First Class and Business Class.

Here's a story about it (translated via Google Translate, for the non-Portuguese guys)

I wonder why these blog entries rarely seem to be updated with changes/corrections?

Simple mistake guys,
it is one of the only words in the English language to not have a Q followed by a U
...That being said, it's not a word.
Trust us to have a word that's not a word that's not spelt correctly.
