iFlyz Boosts In-Flight Mobile Multimedia Experience

24.03.2009
Sick of craning your neck and/or maintaining uncomfortable positions for hours while in flight so you can watch episodes of Battlestar Galactica via or catch the latest music video on your ? Though far from perfect, iFlyz, an "in-flight personal media solution" aims to reduce bodily strain and improve your overall smartphone multimedia experience while traveling by airplane--or any other mode of transportation that provides a fold-down, seat-back tray table.

The product works by gripping your smartphone's rear side with a tiny suction cup while clamping onto an airplane's seatback tray-table. And it works when tray-tables are both open and closed.

iFlyz does indeed free up your hands while watching video or listening to music on your smartphone, but its short, rigid gooseneck and awkward tray-table clamp could be more of a headache than a help for some users.

Keep reading for additional detail on why iFlyz might be just right for you--or why it might not.

The best thing about iFlyz is its small size, which makes it relatively easy to fit into the bottom of a carry-on or laptop bag. With the tray-table-clamp squeezed shut, iFlyz is less than five-and-a-half inches long, two-and-three-quarter inches tall and an inch-and-a-half wide.
