Using tablets means that the equipment is easier to upgrade/replace. With integrated systems like VirginAmerica's Red, the whole plane would have to be re-outfited. Do you really want another store to buy stuff? These tablets will have a way to purchase wifi access. I think that is the easiest way to make money because downloading things opens up all types of questions like "I started the download when we were at 14K feet (wifi cuts off at 10K), can I have my money back?" or "The download failed and it wants to charge me again" Flight attendants shouldn't be tech support nor is it their job.
