This is great! I hope it is widely adopted.

Beautiful.

With as much time as I spend on airplanes, I LOVE this idea. But now the bosses will expect work to be done 24-7!
Luanne RuddyAugust 28th, 2009
FINALLY - someone has figured out how we can communicate in the air!! My husband and I will now ONLY fly an airline who has this. My kids can't believe that this was never available on planes before!
I'm glad it's not voice.... MUCH prefer email, twitter etc!!!
The cost is reasonable -

It's about time!
Patrick LymanAugust 28th, 2009
Brilliant. I'd love the chance to get more done in the air so I can have more time to myself on the ground.
Mike GlickAugust 28th, 2009
