Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 takes flight with American Airlines as new airborne entertainment system

American Airlines has partnered with Samsung Mobile to bring the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to select flights this year. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 will replace the personal entertainment devices currently outfitted in some premium cabins.

You'll be able to find the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on flights between New York's JFK and Los Angeles, JFK and San Francisco, and Miami and Los Angeles, if you're flying on either a 767-200 or 767-300. Internationally, flights to and from Europe and South America using 767-300 will also see the Tab 10.1, and flights departing Boston to Los Angeles on a 757 will also have the Tab 10.1.

Anyone a regular flier here? Looking forward to all the Tab 10.1 goodness you'll eventually be experiencing? At any rate, this is a huge boon for Samsung and the Android tablet market at large, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out for other manufacturers in the future.
