I have blogged from an airplane at 37,000 feet flying to Tokyo (ANA Airlines) from New York and now I am blogging from the Cunard QM2 in the middle of the North Atlantic on my way to New York from Southampton, England.

Cunard have done an amazing job with WiFi and Satellites so that most of the time I am getting a broadband connection as good as I get in Starbucks in New York City.

I last sailed across the Atlantic in 1977 on The QE2. This ship is about 40% larger than the QE2 and incredibly modern and sophisticated. Three laps around deck 7 makes a nice mile walk.

By the way, obviously I cannot use my 8700 BlackBerry out here. But I must now tell readers that the BlackBerry folks and Mike Gartenberg of JupiterResearch fixed my email problems and I can now rave again about the 8700.
