Flight entertainment systems are moving to Android, but a number of factors (primarily the A380 and 787s both being severely delayed) mean this roll-out is taking a lot longer than originally planned. Both Thales (http://www.thales-ifs.com/topseries.aspx) and Panasonic (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetreviews/panasonic-testing-an...) will be moving to Android IFE systems.

The A380 has been available for a while and I've flown on them with Qantas a few times.

They use a Linux based system not an Android one.

Was probably meant to be the A350 - which is the Airbus competitor for the 787 Dreamliner:

It would be built into the car, instead of the navigation/entertainment system and feed off the alternator, so no battery drain :)

Cute trolling. Take it elsewhere.

Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between a troll and a joke.
