- Okay, someone had to say it, and though others on the iPO staff are more qualified to review this album, I decided the time was now. This is the quintessential concept album. Though others came before

iPhone: Web Surfing in Airplane Mode
Thursday, August 21st, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
The iPhone’s Airplane mode shuts off your handheld’s built-in radios including cell service, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with a quick finger tap so you can watch movies and listen to music when you fly. If you are in a situation in the air or on the ground where you need just a Wi-Fi connection, Airplane mode comes in handy, too, and essentially lets you turn your iPhone into an iPod touch with a camera.
To shut off your iPhone’s cell phone reception and Bluetooth while leaving Wi-Fi active, do this:
- Tap Settings.
- Tap the Airplane Mode slider so it says ON.
- Now Tap Wi-Fi to show your Wi-Fi network settings.
- Tap the Wi-Fi slider so it says ON.
 First, put your iPhone in Airplane Mode. |

I use these settings when I’m podcasting and don’t want to disrupt the recording with iPhone speaker buzz. It’s also handy when I’m at a location with Wi-Fi Internet access and don’t want to be interrupted with phone calls.
Keep in mind that in-air Wi-Fi is still a new thing, so enabling Wi-Fi in an airplane could land you in hot water. Be sure to check with the flight crew ahead of time to make sure you can turn Wi-Fi on without getting in trouble.
