Aug 27th, 2010 at 5:30PM: Right now, I'm cruising at 35,000 feet on a Delta flight surfing the Web with Gogo's Inflight internet access. My flight has been delayed, and I want to tell my wife that she can pick me up later. And it occurred to me: I wonder if Google's new "Call from Gmail" feature would work while flying.
