``WOW!`` Just love the enthusiasm as IFE is beginning to take on a life of its own. This excitement about a paradigm shift in IFE will likely trickle down into the stock market sectors that follow the airlines and its thousands of investors.

It looks to be a bright spot, something even airline CEOs get excited about when considering the possibilities for future revenue generation. Advertising to gambling have been discussed in public disclosures. All we need is for this to catch fire.

Nice to have something to get excited about instead of the spewing and back biting from our rejects stewing over on RB, muttering to themselves and NOT having enough to count.

Happy trails....AND YOU ARE HERE !!!!!!!!

Hot Topic: One Word For The Aircraft Interiors Expo In Hamburg – Wow!

This year, IFE filled one large hall – and then some – at the Hamburg show (April 5, 6, and 7) and set the bar for European Inflight Entertainment conferences (The Asia version is set for September 14, 15, 15 in Hong Kong). Bet your IFE exposition dollars here as the UK International Press event is bigger and better than ever while next year promises more. And yes, there is a lot of under the table news too for the AIRFAX eNewsletter. We are waiting for the official stats but it is guaranteed to top last years’ mark for press, vendors and airlines. We have many more news releases but we are waiting for our email copies to forward to our readers. Rest assured that there will continue to be news from this show in the next few issues of IFExpress. You might look for more news from Wencor/Digeplayer, AirCell, Connexion, OnAir, AeroMobile, Panasonic, IMS, Pentar, VTMiltope, Row44, ASI and Thales just to name a few. In the mean time, we thought you might like to see this years “Gadgets” presentation that is becoming our trademark!
