You may also want to take a look at Pilot My-Cast at
http://www.my-cast.com/pilot/. This works on several different
digital cellular services. I have subscribed to it (for $9.95/mo)
using my new LG 4400 phone on Verizon's cellular service.
Let's not re-start the old "you can't use a cell phone in a airplane"
thread.......but.......my experience is that it works where it works
and doesn't work where it doesn't. YOUR mileage may vary. ;-) It'll
probably work great on the ground near large cities and won't work at
all on the ground in the boondocks. But......in the boondocks, it'll
likely work ok in the air and won't work near large cities in the air.
Don't ask me how I know.
