Noticed this on the flight back from Hong Kong: Cathay Pacific offers in-flight email. USB jack in First Class, Business, and the first few rows of economy. Special Windows client software that talks to your POP account. Up to 15 minute latency. That article says $9.95 per flight plus $0.60 per K of body text, it was still in free trials on my flight although I had enough to do that I didn't want to reboot into Windows and install some funky drivers to try it out; you read the headers and download only the ones you care about. Seems like an expensive toy, but cool from a tech standpoint.
