A US company called Aircell is launching a smartphone specifically for making that all-important call from 35,000 feet.
It's designed for travellers on private business jets to make and receive calls just as they would while on the ground. It is compatible with the company's forthcoming GoGo Biz service, which will supply in-flight internet access and voice call service for corporate aircraft customers. Aircell also operates the GoGo in-flight Wi-Fi service that many commercial airlines currently employ.
The Android-powered Aircell Smartphone will offer Bluetooth, a wired headset jack, an alphanumeric physical keypad and a 3.8-inch colour touch-screen. The design looks pretty standard, though in its press release Aircell notes that the device 'exceeds the size of most consumer smartphones on the market today.'
Full availability is planned for late this year with pricing details also to come, but the handset won't be available to commercial airline passengers anytime soon."
