iChat AV at 35,000 feet

Now video chat is pretty nifty, but add the fact that one of the participants is in an aeroplane and it’s just knock-your-socks-off cool. The best part is, it required no geeky heavy-lifting, just Apple’s iChat AV and Lufthansa’s in-cabin 802.11b. That’s it.

The chat transcript you can see in the screen shot is pretty funny: the guy in the aeroplane is rattling on about presentations and sales, and his co-worker back at Apple HQ says “Hey can I see out the window?”.
