Delta is making it harder to fly other airlines, at least out of New York City's JFK Airport which features a new Delta iPad terminal with 200 iPads.
Delta has collaborated with airport restaurant management company OTG to outfit several restaurants with both new looks and iPads. The iPads in the Delta iPad terminal can be used to check email, sports scores and of course, order food.
I really like this idea. Having to pay for airport WiFi has always been a pet peeve of my mine, which is why I am happy to see so many free-of-charge Internet-enabled devices.
