Student Discount

Just go to the Education Store and price it. I believe iBooks are discounted $100 USD.

You can take your iBook on a plane and use it but I don't know if any carriers are offering internet service yet. If the do I'm sure it's pretty expensive.

Student prices are cheaper, but also look at software, especially things like the Adobe pack which was about 70% off for students.

As to taking it on a plane, there would be nothing to worry about internet wise, because you probably won't get it. Only two options that I can see..

1. Use bluetooth to connect to the internet via your mobile (cell) phone. Won't work over the oceans where there are no towers though. And may cause a crash.

2. Use some wire cutters and creative thinking to connect using your internal modem through the pay phone handsets provided on your seat. probably illegal and probably expensive. And only 56k speed.

So, don't worry. Just buy some games and play them or download your work beforehand.

I think a Spain airline or France airline was going to offer internet for a price sometime later this year. I think they are the first to do so.

I have been waiting for an airliine to offer internet service forever. Every flight I go on is boring, so I am just working on a story that I made one flight. Something to kill the time.
