Having just bought an iPad (and ForeFlight, which I love!) I'm confused about using 3G while airborne. (The main reason for doing so would be the occassional need to get a current radar picture while en route) How different is having a powered-on cell phone from having an iPad connected via 3G. If one had a powered-on cell phone in their pocket (and forgot to turn it off like they are probably supposed to do before take-off) wouldn't it ring if it was in range of a cell tower and somebody tried to call it? I realize this may invoke a discussion that addresses both the legal and the practical aspects of 3G in the air, but is it something that people do? (My headset even has a Bluetooth connection for linking to a cell phone so who is kidding who here?) This is something I visualize doing 2 to 3 times a YEAR so an expensive subscription to XM weather is far from practical for me. Thanks.
