So you can use your cellphone above 10,000 feet to play games and MP3's. Without an airplane mode, you are not supposed to turn on your cellphone (even above 10,000 feet) because it has a transmitter. Once below 10,000 feet, all electronic devices are supposed to be off (even those without transmitters). This includes MP3 players, DVD players, and your cellphone.
