You should be able to use it on aircraft - put it in "Airplane mode" right before you shut it down for takeoff.


You'd think so, wouldn't you? But nothing gives a stewardess conniptions like turned-on phone inside the airplane in flight. In some airlines they explicitly state "all phones off during flight, even if they are in flight mode."

Not that I fly much, really. It's just that I can see Gibbon taking all my drive time, workout time and waiting time up for two solid years. And that's just volume I :P

Huh, I've never had a problem with it. I guess my phone could be mistaken for an iPod or something, but I've never heard "all phones off during flight, even if they are in flight mode," that's messed up.

It was in a "safety" lecture video ons some flight. It may have been on Mexicana, which for all intents and purposes is dead.

So the brick had been behaving and playing Decline and Fall like a good little machine.

Then today inexplicably when I tried to rewind a bit, the app crashed. It kept playing, but I couldn't get it to stop, nor access any other functions in the device. Long story short, I had to remove the battery, restart the phone, uninstall audible, and finally reinstall audible. Hopefully it will work again...
