FaceTime In-Flight

"This video shows you that Apple's FaceTime video chat works over in-flight Wi-Fi -- a huge deal to business travellers, we suspect."

The quality isn't all that bad, but I wonder if more and more start using this if the airlines start restricting it due to bandwidth usage? I'm not all that familiar with in-flight internet access since I hardly ever fly but I'm curious about it, does anyone out there use it and if so, what do you think the odds are about restrictions in the future if this becomes widely used?

Australian Airline Company Jetstar Testing iPads for In-Flight Entertainment

"A couple of weeks ago we told you about a company, Bluebox Avionics, that was prepping iPads for use as inflight entertainment on airliners. Today we've heard that a low-cost airline down under, Jetstar, is launching a two-week trial at the end of this month, on flights longer than 90 minutes, to determine how iPads fare when trying to keep passengers entertained."

If you are flying Jetstar, you will be able to rent an iPad for $10.00 AUD, which is about $8.40 USD. The iPads will be loaded with a variety of entertainment choices such as movies, TV shows, books, games, etc. I'll be interested to see just how popular these are with customers. I'd be willing to rent one if I was flying with them. That is if I didn't have my own iPad.
