These iPod holders are great. One could put them on the tray and sit back and watch the movie. I'll go to Best Buy this weekend and see if I can pick one up.

Good luck, though chances are you'll need to order from online. As far as airline use, I'd suggest you look for a model that can fix itself to the tray. At least a strong rubber grip or better a clamp. On airplanes with turbulence and people moving about, it's inevitable that it will get tossed around. Another idea would be to belt or velcro it to the back of the seat in front of you like the backseat headrests in cars. Lots of good possibilities for making something out of $2 and selling it for $20 generic and $50 with an Apple logo.

BTW, still looking for the $5 solution for video out on the iPod Classic, in case anyone has had any luck.

Apparently, there are now two models of the universal dock. One of them has supposedly been discontinued... The previous version is the one called "iPod Universal Dock" has a S-video jack on the back. The new version is called "Apple Universal Dock" and does not have an S-video jack. If you have a "iPod Universal Dock" you can get video out to your TV from the S-video jack or from the old video cable using the iPod Universal dock's headphone jack. If you have the "Apple Universal Dock" you can get video out using the new $49 cables that Apple will be selling soon (they are not available yet). The new video cables work either with the "Apple Universal Dock" or directly on the classic/new nano through the dock connector. The new video cables come in Composite and Component. S-video is no longer available from the new hardware, so you either have to use crummy old composite, or jump up to component 480p. Confusing huh?
