I recently took a long flight and brought my Quest device, set to travel mode. It worked great! Pretty much the same experience as this article describes.

One protip, I bought a 512G flash drive and loaded it with content. Then I could pop the drive in and play movies off it. I did not want to deal with needing connectivity for DRM or other server checks.

Highly recommend that people try this out, the next time you travel. It’s a killer use case for VR.

Too bad Apple's fear of I/O ruled out that kind of connectivity. No card slot, no external drive capability, and no video input.

No sale.

and less space than a Nomad, you say?
