Travel Technology - iChat Videoconference at 35,000 feet...

I thought this was neat.

iChat AV, iSight, 17-inch PowerBook G4, a Boeing 777 and an orbiting satellite.

Did Eric and Kurt forget what each other looked like? :rolleyes:

What a colossal waste of bandwidth.

Since when does a 777 have two engines on each wing?

Since when does LH fly a 777 MUC-SFO? (It is an A-340.)

edited to add: someone changed the link to reflect my comments. :D Honestly it did say it was a Boeing 777!

What a crock... I've know of several people that did this ages ago on BA's Connexxion trials, and even people that have done (very slow) communications over the Airfone.

But I guess it's meant to be good PR for Apple and Lufthansa...
