Only problem is, that Skype has never been a problem in a Gogo connection (Delta at least), so yeah, wifi works... whoopie....

Sure, because we all know how dangerous a video call is... Fly this plane into the white house, else I will start a video call!

They only thing I can think of, (if I think Hollywood style) is to kidnap childeren and or wife/girlfriend of pilot, only trouble is that you don't need communication for that and if you do, you could use the onboard communication of your own satelite phone... (let alone the fact that you could treaten a pilot in advance...)

One more thing... We now virtually strip naked during routine security checks, to get an "enemy" who has managed to hide explosive first in shoes, and after 4 year come up with the idea to hide them in your underpants... It will probably take them another 4-8 years before they start puting them in the rectum or other body cavities... We're really gonna enjoy flying after that one...]]>Jul 14th 2010 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/

re-read, very slowly since you weren't paying attention the first time or just too slow to understan. the topic is FACETIME VIDEO CALL WORKS BEAUTIFULLY ON AIRPLANE'S IN-FLIGHT WIFI.

just from the title you will get the just of what the meat of the article is about. lets break it down since a whole sentence obviously poses a challenge to comprehend.

FACETIME VIDEO CALL---FaceTime is a video calling software feature for iPhone 4's phone application, developed by Apple and announced at WWDC 2010. It is based on numerous open industry standards and Apple has pledged to release it as an open standard allowing other companies to develop around it.

WORKS BEAUTIFULLY--- meaning that the above iPhone 4 phone application (Currently, it only works with a Wi-Fi connection, as there is no 3G (UTMS/HSPA) data support at the moment) works as stated, over a wi-fi connection which happens to work beautifully over wi-fi which happens to be provided in-flight, i hope i dont have to explain what Wi-Fi or what an airplane is. which WAS NOT CREATED BY APPLE by the way.

dont want anyone mistaken engadget for claiming Apple were the first to implement Wi-Fi to the world or be the creator of the airplane.

No what you see is a company that actually made video chatting over a phone part of the system, it's free, it works, and there is no set up. Let's see "qik" say that, qik is 3rd party, it's NOT that great, you have to pay for options and you have to set up server settings etc., hardly "for the masses". ]]>Jul 13th 2010 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/Jul 13th 2010 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/
i understand why all the "iHaters", or what ever term is being coined now, take their time out to read each individual article about the iPhone that Engadget writes. They subconsciously are in love with iPhone and apple products.

the sooner the folks who are so opinionated about Apple and who writes about Apple figure out they need an apple product in their life to be that closer to fulfillment, the sooner they will be at peace with them self's ]]>Jul 13th 2010 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/facetime-video-call-works-beautifully-on-airplanes-in-flight-wi/Jul 13th 2010 11:05PM
