You bet! Sounds like and even better way to amuse myself than reading email, reading others!

What do you think the mean time to Goatse is going to be on these flights?

Now, if JetBlue would just have power ports, they'd be close to perfect.

Crap.

The airlines bitch if you sit by the window with a GPS unit and now they are going to have one hundred plus little noisy transmitters on board?

Yeah, I hear ya. Maybe I should qualify that as "as close to perfect as an airline will ever get." Generally, I like traveling JetBlue as much as any airline. Their fares are generally more reasonable than others, although their "no guns at all policy" sucks. But I traveled a bit on different airlines last year, and for every dollar I spent on flying, JetBlue gave the best value. They were the most comfortable, and had the best prices.

<shrug> There has been talk about them finally allowing cell phones, too.

It is also one of the reasons JetBlue is not charging passengers to log on.

“Why charge for something that doesn’t work very well yet?” said David G. Neeleman, JetBlue’s founder and chairman, a self-described BlackBerry addict.

Microsoft has been doing it for years.

Now let's be fair. Name 1000 things that MS charges for that don't work very well.
