If you fancy a long flight down under and you read this site, you should definitely check out Qantas. WiFi internet will be available on all flights soon.

Sounds very cool indeed, hopefully a sign of things to come.

Now if only Virgin Trains offered internet access so I wasn't so bored on 3 hour train journeys....

I bet some people will complain, those people who claim to suffer from the waves of wi-fi or whatever. Sounds like a good service though, I hope its only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on.

Edit: Apparently Uninted have also tricked out there seats.

Hey, you with t'internet addiction!

I've got this great new invention for you for those long train journeys. It is readily available, requires no power source, comes in form factors from pocket sized to super-sized, offers a persistent, easily readable, ultra-high resolution, anti-glare screen, is rugged enough to throw in your bag and can take drops from tens of feet with ease, and is in many cases so cheap as to be treated as disposable. You'll get hours of entertainment out of one, and there are literally MILLIONS of different ones to choose from, catering to all tastes and in every language in the world. Better yet, there is more than likely a magic shop near your house that lends them out for weeks at a time absolutely FREE!

Can you guess what it is yet? </Rolf Harris>

Would you wanna read a porno that's been read before and might possibly, maybe just maybe have had a certain sticky substance on it in the past?

After hours of reflexion, comparing datasheets and specs, I may have the answer.

they call it a "book". Wonder what it is though. I've heard it handles water badly : it inflates.

True, nothing wrong with a book, but when you're trying to send a design brief you've just finished to someone a few hundred miles away, it comes in useful. Plus, addiction, moi? The shakes I get when I don't go online for a few days, it's just the cold....
