with the recent crap in the news about electronic equipment in flight, or in certain phases of flight, i thought this was interesting.
"Probably the best example of that is we’re equipping all our pilots with iPads. They’re getting them as we speak. And it’s what we call Electronic Flight Bag. All of our pilots will have all the manuals and charts and everything on the iPad. They’ll be able to use in all phases of flight. We’ll be the only and first U.S. airline to have done that.

so if ipads can be used IN THE COCKPIT during all phases of flight, do you really expect anyone to believe that their use in the cabin during takeoff, taxi, landing is dangerous??? horsecrap!
all that said, one thing i NEVER want to see, is allowing the use of cell phones. to paraphrase an article i read some time ago, the aircraft cabin in-flight is the last bastion--the last place you can relax without having to listen to some moron chatting away incessantly about absolutely nothing.
