The United terminal at EWR — ground zero for the “iPad at every seat” concept — basically feels like you’re trapped in a combination of a high-security video poker casino and the “Minority Report” retinal-scanning advertising scene, with the added insult of a CBGB-branded craft cocktail bar.
Having said that, it’s still the best terminal you’ll find in Newark, so ... eh.
- wenc 8y agoOTG is the company behind the iPad concept [1], and there are large installations at IAH, YYZ, LGA, etc. I don't know, they're ok. I wouldn't use the iPads to surf but they're a great food ordering tool. The one advantage is that the seats at these iPad stations are usually very comfy. They also free you up from having to look for seating at a busy food court. I was once able to order Popeye's from several gates away where things were quieter, and my food was brought to me.
