Many of those in-flight entertainment systems are Android tablets mounted onto the seatback. Sometimes if you're lucky you can bail out to the Android home screen on them.

On a recent Delta flight the seat back screens were malfunctioning and had to be rebooted several times. The boot was a standard Linux text mode sequence. Debian, iirc. It would get stuck before the graphical interface loaded.

Source? I doubt they would embed lithium batteries into the seats, and every device I've seen so far is powered on/off along with airplane systems.

You could both be an android tablet and run off a plug and not have a battery...
