Now this is rich. United and Lufthansa (among others) are going to offer WiFi access to the web inside of an airplane. I'll never understand the logic of carriers. It could just be that flight attendants (primarily the nagging old hens on most of my Northwest flights) like to flex what little muscle they have by limiting my use of 'electronic devices'. Now we find out (as if we bought in to that crap about interference) that my iPod isn't, in fact, going to bring down the plane.
Flight Attendant: "Sir, is that off"
Me: "uh Yes", "would you like me to take the batteries out of my watch, it's got a GPS"
Flight Attendant: "No, that won't be necessary. We're only worried about devices that interfere with the flight and navigation of the aircraft...(under her breath) "smart ass".
Guess GPS is in, iPod with it's huge magnetic field is out.
