I’m afraid that I stole a couple of airline images from our lovely iPad app client Thomas Cook Airlines (sorry Rich)
The images of iPads in use by airline staff were all taken from the airline’s own press releases.
Thanks also to carsonified.com & lostandtaken.com for the other free backgrounds
All logos and product images were taken from vendor websites or from the iTunes App Store.
The rest were screenshots or my own photos & images.
