More information about cellular use on airplanes: SMS and surfing go sky high!. Right now, according to the article, Airbus Industries has tested SMS and GPRS (I guess) on their planes. As the story says:

Passengers will be able to use their mobiles to chat, send text messages and access the internet during flights. Airbus which has tested the technology on a A320 aircraft plans to introduce the system next year.

Of course this means there will be absolutely NO REPREIVE from the 'crack-berry' addicts continual thumbing through email.
