Portable electronic devices may be operated on the ground prior to doors closing and inflight above 10,000 feet. The captain or the flight crew will make an announcement when it is safe to use your electronic device(s) after take-off.
These portable devices include:
Headsets
Hand held Global Positioning System ( GPS )
Portable CD players
Laptops
Electronic Calculators
Electronic Cameras
Audio / Video Recorders and Players
Hand-held electronic games
AM / FM Radio Receivers
Pagers
Electric shavers
Noise busters
Tapes players (Walkman types)
How does it make sense that you can use a laptop or a GPS unit, but *not* a PDA? I would have pulled mine out anyway and asked them for a full explanation.

I have been doing this for a year now. Last Saturday on a USAirways
flight from Charlotte to Newark they made an announcement that you could
not use Blackberries or PDAs of any kind. I was a little taken aback.
I was afraid to watch all the movies I'd put on tcpmp, but with my Treo
in its holster, I went ahead and listened to PTunes with my headset the
whole way. What are they thinking?!
