MarineNav! YES! I agree it should be limited to text messaging...or how about they keep the cell phone rule as is, and allow internet access?

Or have a little keyboard fold away from the back of the seat, and the LCD screen used for flight tracking/DirecTV can be converted to a screen that allows the passenger to utilize any one of a few popular instant messaging services...They could press enter or something to get the screen to change over to more computer-like, hehe....maybe they can check e-mail, too. AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger would be some of the messaging options.

I really do think the cell phone use in the confined area is obnoxious. I almost got my ass kicked for having a loud laptop once. I can't imagine masses of people yapping away while I'm trying to relax, or listen to what the crew is saying sometimes. GAR!! I think my blood pressure just shot up.
