Today, United Airlines announced their new lay-flat business class seating that will start rolling out into the fleet later this year with a completion of the roll out in 2009.
The new business class seat is a substantial upgrade over the current seats including:
- Lay-flat 6'4" bed
- 15.4 inch LCD display
- 110 volt outlet -- no more need for empower adapter!!!!
- Apple iPod dock
- USB power supply to power/recharge devices
- etc., etc.
You can take a look at the following for more information:
All I can say is "bring it on!!!" I'm ready for it today.
UPDATE: 7/24 - The down side in all this is that there are substantially less business class seats in each of the aircraft: 747 - 53 (down from 72), 767 - 26 (down from 32), and 777 - 40 (down from 45/49). So while the seats are much better, there are less of them making upgrades much more competitive. TANNSTAAFL.

Just like all the others ;) That 6'4" seat is /just/ too small for my 6'5" frame - so these seats tend to be more uncomfortable than even the normal "underclass" (economy) seats. Just another hint that I should stop flying.
