SEATTLE, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Skycast Solutions today unveiled the latest in its suite of products offering airlines the lowest cost options for improving the inflight experience for passengers. The latest product, the new TabCaddy™ seat back personal device holder, provides airlines an easy way for passengers to display their personal devices in-flight and is easy to install. The patent-pending designs support all sizes of personal devices (PEDs) – from smartphones to 10.1" tablets, allowing passengers to adjust viewing angles and hold the tabs securely in place, freeing the tray table for food and beverage.
