UPGRADES FOR A320 (no beta versions LOL!)

Airbus is readying a number of A320 upgrades for service to facilitate pilot operations.

• Electronic Flight Bag-option that will enable pilots to plug laptops into a docking station. The system has been configured to handle a variety of laptops.The connection—using Arinc 828 compliant wiring—will enable aircraft and laptop to exchange relevant information. well am not sure about TROJANS!!:)

•  On-board Airport Navigation System (OANS). The system is designed to aid pilots when maneuvering at complex or unfamiliar airports and, effectively, provide the type of situational awareness they have when airborne also when operating at an airport. The airport moving map would be shown on the navigation display.like a world in their GPS they can browse the airport map the one new to pilots. 

•  This one is the derivative from A380.The runway overrun prevention system,the system uses visual and aural cues to alert the pilot if a landing is being attempted and runway space is inadequate. The goal is to aid the decision-making to go around.

BUT WHY AIRBUS DINT ANNOUNCE THIS FOR NEO VERSION, it would've been attractive other than redesign of wing and speaking on efficincies!!
