Frequent fliers with Delta Airlines will soon have more access to Gogo Internet during their flights. Delta Airlines has announced that it is expanding Gogo Vision across the entire two class fleet and Delta Connection fleet of Gogo equipped aircraft. Gogo Vision is an in-flight video streaming service.
Delta will begin installations in 2012 on its domestic fleet and expects to complete installations to support to Gogo Vision by 2013. Delta Airlines also expects to have a new international Wi-Fi service featuring Gogo Vision completed by the end of 2015. Once Delta completes the new installations, it will have more than 950 aircraft featuring Gogo Wi-Fi connectivity and Gogo Vision.
Delta has also announced that it intends to upgrade its fleet to the next-generation Gogo ATG-4 platform. That upgrade will enhance existing air to ground network and improve user capacity on the aircraft. The Gogo Vision service has an internal server that is stored on the plane, and video is streamed to passengers Wi-Fi enabled devices.
The service will feature both television programs at a per show charge and full-length movies from major Hollywood studios. Individual television episodes will sell for $0.99 with a full-length Hollywood movie costing $3.99. Passengers will be able to sort through titles by genre, length, and search for specific movies or shows and can preview before purchasing.

In countries where MNCs choose not to launch their products in first, you have to be thankful for the grey market as it basically gives customers access to devices before they have been officially launched for that particular region. While Hong Kong will be getting the iPhone 5 on the 21st of September along with other selected countries, it seems that the iPhone 5 has already made it into the country’s grey market where they are being sold for a whopping $1,100. Of course these models are unlocked but at $1,100, they are a few hundred dollars more than they would cost if purchased officially.
While Sprint might be late to the 4G LTE game (not that bad given that T-Mobile hasn’t rolled out their 4G LTE network yet), they have certainly wasted no time and in a recent report, the carrier has boasted that they have since managed to sell a total of 1 million 4G LTE devices. This was announced by Sprint’s CEO, Dan Hesse, who was speaking at a Goldman Sachs Communicopia Conference in New York. Some have speculated that Apple’s iPhone 5 might have helped Sprint hit that 1 million milestone but we have to admit that that’s a bit arrogant, especially given that the iPhone 5 has not yet been released.
Love or hate the Android UI, it’s most definitely a matter of preference, but if you were leaning more towards disliking it and are hoping to see Google make more improvements to it in the future, it seems that these views are shared by Matias Duarte, the person who is responsible behind the look and feel of Android.

Starting from the 25th of September, which is next Tuesday, the Marvel blockbuster movie The Avengers will be available on DVD and Blu-ray. However if you are a T-Mobile subscriber with a Samsung Galaxy S3, you’re in luck as you will be able to not only get The Avengers on HD on your Galaxy S3 handset, but it will be provided free of charge! It will be available for download via the Samsung Media Hub and is only available to T-Mobile subscribers, so if you are still a bit sore about T-Mobile not offering the iPhone 5, perhaps a free HD The Avengers movie on your Samsung Galaxy S3 might appease you. Granted the chances are most of you guys have already seen The Avengers, but we’re sure that many wouldn’t mind rewatching it, especially if you commute a lot and want something new (well, maybe not new per se) to entertain yourself while on the way to work or school.
