This is a neat service for sure and will be useful to many. I would however like to address the following quote from the TechCrunch article:
"In fact, I now assume that all flights will have Wifi, so when they don’t (eh, hem United Flight 0059) it’s like someone cut off your oxygen. And it’s such a rude awakening when you get off the plane and realize that there’s a thousand emergencies that went down while you were watching the inflight Adam Sandler movie and you have to scramble for the rest of the day fighting fires."
If you are working with that kind of pressure for a long time, thats really counter productive. It can be kind of addictive being that irreplacable but its bad business.

I'd land and end up with three dozen emails, but at least I could just lie back and sleep confident that everyone knows I'm out of contact and doesn't expect an immediate response.
