Surfing On Your Pocket PC... 30,000 Feet In The Air

"This is Alex speaking from Lufthansa flight LH 432 on his way from Frankfurt to Chicago! I am so very excited because this is my first airborne Internet experience using my Dell Axim to surf through the clouds in high-speed. On this Airbus 340-300 I'm accessing Connexion's broadband Wifi LAN (Lufthansa calls it FlyNet) for a flat rate of $29.95...What else can I say? Surfing 10'000 meters up in the sky is a lot of fun and it is a true asset for every mobile business man, or for every mobile gadget fan like myself"
$29.95 is a little too high for my tastes, although if it's a long flight it might be worth it -- especially for those with a legitimate business need. Anyway, it's nevertheless very cool, and in true mobile fashion Alex from MobileRead uses his X50 in "true VGA mode" to get the full 30,000-foot experience. 8)
