I'm High...
...above Newfoundland, that is. Posting this from Lufthansa flight 417 Dulles-Munich at 35,000 doing just over 600mph from the onboard wireless connection system called Connexion by Boeing.
I think I need this in my car.
Edit: Here's where I am. I pulled it up from seat 44K.

$30 for the entire flight or $10 for 30 minutes and .25 a minute thereafter. So it's around $6 an hour, depending on your battery life.

Hey I assume you are travelling in a 777 or so, and the max cruising speed is 555mph NOT 600 you high flying bastard!

Wow. I would gladly pay $30 for the flight. I hope they have that when I do Dulles-Munich in October.

i think all the transatlantic flights have it (lufthansa). mine had it, (chicago-munich and then munich-los angeles). It's pretty cool! now the next step would be power plugs in each sit ! $30 for 3 hours (battery life) is ok but kinda expensive... some of the flights are 12 hours! i could easily use half of that time online browsing and chatting!

According to the knot to mph conversion (1 knots = 1.15077945 mph), the screen capture says 576 knots, therefore: 576 knots = 662.848962 mph.......
