Apple Computer Inc. entered agreements with six airlines to integrate its iPod digital-entertainment devices into in-flight entertainment systems.

The Cupertino, Calif., computer and consumer electronics maker yesterday said the airlines will begin offering passengers seat connections that will power and charge iPods while allowing video content contained on the devices to be played on seat-back monitors.

The connections will be available by mid-2007 on planes operated by Air France-KLM, Continental Airlines Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc., Emirates Airlines, and United Airlines, a unit of UAL Corp., Apple said.

Apple shares recently traded at $84.65, up less than 1% from Monday’s closing price of $84.35 a share, in pre-market volume of more than 90,000 shares.
