Photographic Evidence that In-flight WiFi is 2 Legit 2 Quit

We already knew that MC Hammer was digging on the in-flight WiFi provided by Virgin America on his flight last month. But now, VA has put up a TwitPic on their own Twitter feed giving us photographic evidence of Hammer doing his thang in-flight today, in first-class of course. Hmmm...no Mac, Hammer? What's up with that?

Meanwhile, Southwest has put up their own update on in-flight WiFi saying that WiFi is testing great (obvs) and that provider Row 44 is in the final stage of securing permanent licenses for the service.

Southwest has operated the service on more than 500 flights and more than 9,000 Customers have logged on. Folks are utilizing Wi-Fi for anything from e-mail to surfing the net to Facebook and the feedback so far has been great. Comments we are hearing from Customers are that the service is fast and they’re pleased with the quality of streaming media.

WiFi service will be available on Southwest through the spring. Remember to look for tail numbers N901WN, N902WN, N906WN, and N907WN--those are the planes equipped with WiFi.
