Guys,

I went out and bought an iPod Nano several weeks ago and find it great to use when travelling. My question is this:

Is an iPod considered to be a piece of "electrical equipment" in the eyes of airlines?

Why do I ask? Well, I get bored pretty easily, and having seen the usual airline safety videos too often for my liking, I would like to sit back and listen to some music while reading (and waiting for the drinks to be served!)

I have been waiting until the seatbelt sign goes off and then turn it on - but is that necessary?

At the other end of the flight, I have tested the staff out several times - continuing to listen once the seatbelt signs come on - and have not been asked to turn the iPod off on any airline.

I would have expected QF (my regular airline) to be hot on this, but not so....not that I want them to start!!!

Any ideas/thoughts/discussion???

Cheers

GB
