Thanks for that. I have noticed more people ignoring this rule as of late. Last time I flew a lady next to me kept using her Blackberry but made sure the attendant didn't see her.
Oddly, one time before a take-off, the pilot asked for someone in a specific row to turn off their phone. Maybe it was just a ruse. Maybe it's not about our devices, but about devices made to look like them. If someone that wanted to crash the plane had an iPad that was modified to mess with the plane's controls, it would be a lot more obvious if they were the only one using one.
