If they're not going to let you use a laptop with one of these, they dang well better get outlets into those planes. And WiFi/Max

And if they pull that "please swipe your card...", then, well... I'll make a point to stick to roads and watercraft, or not travel. They piss me off already.

I like the idea, though. I think the trick is to make an external power protocol like USB. Maybe a USB cell with a separate line for power, at worst. Whoever made USB was seems to have been thinking along the lines of "512k ought to be enough for anybody". Don't cap the speed. Scale or die. You can't make it universal if you don't make it viable.
