Sources say Virgin America is rolling out a beta version of its Red seatback platform that runs Android on a multi-touch screen, much like many mobile devices.

The modern input gives you more sophisticated flight maps and games than you're used to seeing in mid-air -- you can play Pac-Man while you're waiting for your meal, if you like.

Reports also say the devices also have three times as much storage as before, which will let you watch 720p videos including Netflix staples like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.

Sources also say only three aircraft will have it this month, and 18 will get it by the end of the year. It won't be until 2016 that you can assume that every Virgin America flight has the upgrade.
