Now here’s something you don’t see often. Ships and ferrying vehicles aren’t your typical luxury transport machines. No one, therefore thinks of redesigning them. However, Turkish designer Olcay Tuncay Karabulut saw scope in redesigning the strait passenger ferry. Completely from scratch.

Maybe that’s what explains the completely futuristic approach, giving the entire watercraft category a breath of fresh air… Fresh, salty, sea air!

Qantas to hand out free iPads to all passengers on Boeing 767s, save fuel and our sanity (video)

Qantas to hand out free iPads to all passengers on Boeing 767s, save fuel and sanity in the process video

Qantas just upped the ante for its Australian counterparts Jetstar and Virgin in the airline tablet wars. Following an earlier trial, the transporter plans to hand out free iPads to all of its passengers -- not just the high-flyers in business-class, like with Jetstar's iPads or Virgin's Galaxy Tabs -- on every Boeing 767 aircraft in the fleet. The rollout, which starts in the last quarter of the year, will let those bored in the back seats watch an equally free 200 hours' worth of QStreaming audio and video. Don't confuse the gesture with a sudden bout of altruism on Qantas' part, however. The pound-and-a-half weight of a current iPad sheds the tremendous amount of weight that would normally be needed for a conventional in-flight entertainment system built into the headrest, which on a typical 375-seat 767 could see the iPads pay for themselves within years, if not sooner. The option will give many Aussies something to look forward to for their domestic summer vacations. In the meantime, hop past the break for a Qantas video explaining how QStreaming worked during the original trial run.

Motorola Xoom 2 says buongiorno to Alitalia’s cockpits and cabins (video)

Motorola Xoom 2 says buongiorno to Alitalia's cockpits and cabins

It won't just be Apple and Samsung cornering the in-air tablet market -- Motorola has scored a deal with Alitalia to put the Xoom 2 into every aspect of the Italian airline's flights. Passengers riding high in the Business and Magnifica classes on longer Middle Eastern and Russian flights will now get to use the Android slate if the aircraft doesn't already have an in-flight entertainment system. At the front, attendants will get a passenger manifest app that lets them scratch travelers' itches based on their flight history. And just to form the triumvirate that Italy loves so well, Alitalia will outfit 10 of its lounges with the current Xoom to keep well-heeled passengers on top of the news before they board. There's no word on expansion plans that would let us play FIFA on that next JFK-to-Rome trip, but we can always brush up on our Italian through an illustrative video below.
