Why fly Delta? Wi-Fi of course!

Delta Airlines announced today that it will soon offer Wi-Fi service in it's planes. Of course it won't be free, but I really didn't expect it to be. There will be 2 different prices $9.95 for flights under 3 hours and $12.95 for longer flights. Not a bad deal.
I was wondering when airlines would start doing this. With all the advances in cellphones (iPhone for example) and other portable devices...this is a great idea. On my recent trip to New Orleans, I had a new iPod-Touch on hand...but couldn't access the internet on the plane. The next item they need to offer is a power source for charging your laptop or iPod. I'd pay a few bucks to run off of it in flight.
Oh..I do want to give Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport a big 'thumbs up' for offering FREE Wi-Fi. Great service that makes the time fly (hee hee) by. And a 'thumbs down' to Atlanta International Airport. They offer Wi-Fi, but at a price.
