I'm going away to somewhere. But it took like 12 hours in plane to reach the destination.

So my question is, can i play my iPod inside plane?

of coz.... it is ONLY during the PERIOD of taking off and landing where u need to turn off all electronic devices....

WELL, i did try doing it... it was OK... BUT ur risk man, u can never known when these things go wrong

During flight...I think they dont allow you to do so cause, worry it will somehow interfere with their radio signal. Let just said, they want you to close any devices...
I just came back from UK few days ago...is a 12 hours plus journey...direct flight...from KL to London, Heathrow...even my psp they dont allow me to open* it during flight.
Anyway, there's this in-flight entertainment provided...even you're taking economy flight...everyone will have their own tv* control...you can listen to songs, news, movie-on-demand, series-on-demand,games (ya...games).
So, you won't get bored. Cheers.

really...?? then how about magsafe..if electronic device interfere the signal..

why do apple sell them..or does electronic device like psp and ipod only cant be play on board..

Err...the way I look at their instructions during the flight was, turn off all your devices that could interfere with the radio signal. So, any devices such as phone, pda, ipod which allow user to detect* for available network....including wifi, 3g, etc...could interfere* with their radio transmission...need to turn off...
well...that is the instructions given before the plane taking off...
About magsafe...hmm...I'm not sure...maybe it just a provide power to your computer...without any whatsover signal?

i just use my ipod after the plane take off and stop using my ipod at least 10 minutes before landing.

You can use whatever electronics (other than mobile phone) you want except during takeoff and landing.

If you can't use ipod or PSP, why do they have on flight entertainment

Well you can but it just a matter on your iPod battery can tahan that long or not

I used my iPod on a flight to US, no problems....... and that's close to 20 hours, but battery died out long before that.
PSP and my PDA also used, no problems whatsoever.

Well, if you follow MythBuster series on Discovery, you should know that electronic items DOES NOT intefere with airplane equipments.

However, the test was conducted in small scale. Just turn it off for goodwill.

there's something called Airplane mode, look in your settings menu.

no probs with using an ipod on an airplane

however , if u're still in doubt ... just ask a member of the cabin crew. i'm sure they'll give a reassuring yes to the ipod

like duh u can ! !!!

READ A BOOK... are y'all illiterate?

But but they won't let me turn on my e-book reader on the flight....

The rules say no electronic devices during take off and landing only. The iPod can be used during the flight itself. I've used mine with a Belkin battery backup and it lasted ~8 hours of video on a 22 hour flight. The cabin crew don't care if you use it, they'll just advise you to turn it off during take off and landing.

I've even had a family member left her phone on during a flight from Europe to Malaysia. We got back with some strange roaming welcome SMS from the Ukraine and a few other places.

ipod do not interfere with radio signal. dont mix ipod with iphone.

basically pda, mp3 player, laptop, camera, mobile phones on airplane mode can be switched on during cruising. the only time it is not allowed is when the plane is taking off or landing or during taxi. listen to the instruction, with long haul flight, they will tell you when you can switch on your electronic devices except phone. the announced it every first time when the seat belt 'on' indicator is switched off and last time when the light is on, ready to land.

and wifi is allowed on plane actually. i have used wifi numerous time on board because the plane (SIA) was equipped with free wifi since 2006.

just that when it starts to take off and landing time oni hav to switch off. just comply with the captains order... after that you can switch on you ipod and listen till the stewardess tell you to off ur ipod. I kena mine when i went to korea...

It's ok as long as you didn't tune to radio channel.

erm... i dont hv an ipod here... but u might switch the flight mode ... it will close all connection........ then u can listen mp3 lo....

during taxi mode no problem lah.. but not during take off and landing.

there are no flight mode in ipod???

this is all bullshit. heck, you can even switch on your phone and nothing happens with the flight

it's not the 70's. current naviagtional equipment is quite advanced that interferences from a small ipod, your handphone, your wi-fi or even cdplayers don't do a thing.

you can google for more info

one thing i dun understand is why those pesky flight stewardess still insist to turn off any electronic devices, but didn't check for switched off phones. talk about paranoia

it all depends on the electronic design of the device. some emits signal with high frequencies which may cause intereference.

maybe the signal come from that part that's handling user input (touch pad, lack of debouncing signal), output (audio), or even power supply. The thing is, it's hard to design a fullproof electronics circuits. It can and should be done, though.

anyway, it's a good thing to advice everyone to switch off their electronic gizmos since maybe quantitatively it may harm the flight.

Sry..my bad.
I referring to iTouch...my bad.


And yea...even my pda got flight mode...the cabin guy dont allow me to activate it...instead, force me to shut it off...
So, yea...I did wonder too...why cant we use flight mode...
maybe they just want to be safe...anyway, is all good.

nevermind all the hype of disruption on handphone signal to the radio system in the phone.

in close time we can see handphone can be used on the plane. just like wifi on the plane, one year after the announcement of possibility of wifi on the plane, i already saw it on the SIA plane. and handphone on the plane project was already announced sometime mid of this year.
