Delta Airlines Creates Glass Bottom iPad App

I think this is really cool.  Except I don't have an iPad.  And that's sad.

Delta Airline passengers can admire the view, keep up to speed with their flight's progress and find out what is going on 30,000 feet below thanks to a new glass bottom iPad app.

The glass bottom jet feature is accessed through inflight wi-fi from 10,000 feet and allows passengers to track their flight by watching a computerized image of the plane on their handheld device.  Icons also appear on the ground below for users to access a range of interactive content - including Wikipedia pages, photographs and social network updates related to the landmarks and places they are passing overhead.

The app has been launched by Delta Air Lines and gives iPad users the ability to book and check-in for flights and download their boarding pass onto the device.  It also features destination guides and inflight entertainment pages, which include suggested music, film and book downloads related to a passenger's destination.
