This code seems to return true unconditionally.  Of course, I suppose
it could be the emulator, but here is the deal.  When I switch my wi-
fi off and try using the emulator browser, I get the built-in Android
404 page.  However, when my application tests for a net connection
using the code below, it returns true.

public boolean iCanHasDataNowKThxBye() {
        ConnectivityManager connMgr=(ConnectivityManager)
getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo info=connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();

        return(info!=null && info.isConnected());

}
