Starting tomorrow American Airlines will test their in flight WiFi service on a randomly chosen flight from JFK to LAX. The service, called Gogo will cost folks $13 for flights longer then 3 hours and $10 for anything shorter, but tomorrow’s test will be free.
As originally reported, customer’s should expected max download speeds of 2MBs, although that sounds a bit advantageous seeing as I have trouble getting that in my home.

Sorry folks, this is for first and biz class passengers only. Passengers will be able to sit down and plug their device into the the preexisting United Airlines entertainment system. The first aircraft equipped with iPod and iPhone connectivity left Washington DC to Zurich yesterday. United plans to upgrade all their first and business class cabins, on international planes only, with iPod integration over the next two years.

I am having a hard time believing this thing is real. Anyone else? The DirecTV Sat-Go includes everything you need to ‘take your shows with you’: receiver, antenna and TV.
Specs:
Costs $999 + $19.95 for S&H.
Available here.

Unlike “Airborne”, the manufactures of the PlaneCleanAir filters don’t make any grandiose claims that it will stop colds while traveling. What they do claim, though, is that it will filter out 99.5% of bacteria carried in airplane air vents. The filters attach to most Airbus and Boeing nozzles and not only filter the air, but distribute a wider flow of fresh filtered air in your direction. The filters last for 10 flights and cost $20/piece, plus $7 for the adapter to fit the filter to the air nozzle.

Why bother visiting the island when you can ride it, right? Wallyisland (perhaps an ode to the Griswalls) is a behemoth of a boat measuring 325 feet and offers a customizable main deck that can be outfitted with tennis courts, swimming pools, trees, helipads, and more. Does 17.5 knots, can hold up to 24 guests and includes two 45 foot Wallypower dingies for shore visits. Looks like an oil tanker retrofitted with trees if you ask me.

If you travel abroad you’re probably already familiar with the numerous travel chargers on the market. None of them include a USB plug for powering the likes of an iPhone until now. It’s apty called the Universal Travel Adapter With USB Port and goes for $17.
Available here.

Soon, WiFi, or ‘Gogo’ will be available on American Airline and Virgin American flights originating in NYC and heading towards LA, SF, or Miami according to Gigaom. Aircell, the company behind the in-flight WiFi is feverishly working around the clock to prepare 15 of AA’s 767s and all of Virigina America’s planes by Spring of this year (’08). The service will cost $12.95 for cross country flights, and $9.95 for legs 3 hours or less. Connection speeds are spec’d at 2mbps, which sound advantageous to say the least. Aircell plans to partner with the likes of T-Mobile and company in what will likely be a rev share agreement. Here’s to in-flight web surfing!
Official announcement and list of routes available here.

Putting aside the fact that you might look like the tourist from hell, the Digital Camera Mask does offer a convenient and easy solution to snapping pics of the family snorkeling expedition. Built in to the mask is a 3 or 5 megapixel camera. and a cross hair for dead eye accuracy (probably not, but one can only hope). Expect to get close ups because this thing has a 5 foot shooting distance. The on board memory (16mb) will achieve a few photos, but fortunately there’s a microSD slot to increase memory capacity; you can even record VGA quality video. Requires the ever allusive AAA batteries and plugs in via USB.

Istanbul, long regarded as the capital city of the Roman Empire and Europe’s most populous city, is slated to open an underwater hotel by 2010. Built underneath the city’s center, the 7 floor, seven star (I thought it went to 5) hotel will feature all ocean facing rooms, an exhibition hall and restaurants. If you’ve seen Jaws three then you’ll probably opt for the cultural experience, at least the sleeping part, above water. Fiji recently announced an underwater hotel aptly dubbed the Poseidon.
