Applications that worked with in-flight Wi-Fi

27208430 0665A56B3E MOnce we were in the air and received our username and passwords to access the Wi-Fi network on the plane, I quickly tested all the applications I could. Skype: called another Skype user, and called using Skype out to a real phone number. It worked perfectly. AIM/iChat: had two full-screen video conference sessions for 10 minutes or so each. IRC: logged in to irc.freenode.net #joiito. Email, SSH, telnet, web browse SSL (banking), also brought a card that does passive mode and sniffed a bit with KisMac. Streamed video from my home via ORB Networks. Plugged in an Airport Express too :-]
