JetBlue is starting to enable its planes with Wi=Fi. Come Tuesday, you'll be able to check your email and IM while in the air — if you use Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger or a Wi-Fi-enabled Blackberry. No iPhone? No Gmail? Count me underwhelmed. Just let me use any Wi-Fi device to surf the Web and check email and I'll be happy. Until then, why bother with this nonsense? At least it's free, and a beta. I'm holding out for a 1.0 — or Virgin's promised Wi-Fi, with added Xeni Jardin. (Photo by AP/Rick Maiman)
