“Good news is that starting today, American Airlines will launch Aircell’s inflight mobile broadband service, Gogo. Okay it is better late than never. Now this isn’t a complete launch. For now inflight broadband is available on American’s Boeing 767-200 aircraft on select flights from New York to San Francisco, New York to Los Angeles and New York to Miami. Aircell will charge $12.95 on flights more than three hours.”

I used to take that NY to Miami flight every week. And I have to say, I sort of liked not being able to do real-time email or be reachable during the flight. It was let me focus on other things or even (gasp!) sleep. Soon work will be able to get me all the time (especially once we can use cell phones in-flight…)

If app developers can’t make a competitive living selling high-quality apps, they’re not going to just accept less money — there just won’t be many high-quality apps.

That’s why I believe in paying for the software (and music, and movies…) I use.
