I just completed my first successful Skypecast from an airplane. I used Audio Hijack Pro, Skype and the Boeing Connexion service on Lufthansa flight 711. Special thanks to Jeremy Wagstaff for being the guinea pig for this experiment.

Joi Ito just finished his first ever skype-casting while he's on the Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. I wonder if it's the first ever skype-casting from the air in the Internet history. The sound quality is excellent. BTW Ito-san told me Read More
Joi Ito experimented with an in-flight podcast using Audio Hijack Pro, Skype and the Boeing Connexion service on Lufthansa flight 711. I'm waiting for a flight-to-flight experiment! [Link]... Read More
Joi Ito ringer billigt från flyget med hjälp av trådlös internetförbindelse på flyget och Skype. Det kostar honom 30 dollar för de tolv timmar som flygresan tar. Kanske inte superbilligt, men ändå helt ok om man jämför med liknande tjänste... Read More

So, I'm planning my trip to Japan in September, looking at the different airlines, shall I fly direct or indirect and save myself at least 250 ukp? The decission on how to fly just got made a bit easier after seeing JoiIto's last post. He had WiFi o... Read More
After my "set your Flickr license to Creative Commons!" post the other day, Mikel pointed out jurisdiction issues. I pinged Joi about it and he gave me a quick cryptic response (WiFi in airplanes rots your brains!), but one which... Read More
Podcast sampling: Among other things, on my flight back to Nashville, I listened to several "daily podcast" articles from Slate.com -- which are simply 4-8 minute articles read by Andy Bowers. Read More
Inflight skypecasting! Voi että on hauska kuunnella kun isot miehet on innoissaan. Joi Ito soitti Skypellä lentokoneesta Korean yläpuolelta tuttavalleen, Aasian Wall Street Journal - kirjeenvaihtajalle, Jeremy Wagstaffille ja jutteli niitä näitä. T Read More

I hope you did not mention this applications name outloud during the podcast!
WebPod Studio supports Skype, which means one application does the recording, converting, injection into rss, and publish. Best of all it works in a plane as well ;)

If I'd have known, I would have given you an Audioblog.com account and you'd be like us yesterday on that Boeing Connexion One test flight hosted by Boeing. Well, podcasting *and* videoblogging anyway. ;-)
My apologies to people who linked to this, but I decided to change the title to Skypecast from the sky and may have broken your links...
Sounds cool :).
But, the delay of the net. Is it normal or is it greater than on normal lines?
Maybe you ask the pilot to speed up to reduce the delay ;).
There is a bit of a delay, but this time it was barely noticable.
Sitting here in England and clicking one key to read your blog from Japan and another click seconds later to hear you in the sky above Korea having a conversation with someone on the ground in Hong Kong while you were travelling at 500 (or whatever) mph is pretty amazing. Historic and entertaining. Thanks.
It should be called, of course, not a "Skypecast from the sky," but a "skycast".
Next time you should try having someone Skype you while you are on skype... now this would be a nice breakthrough, since the sat phone is ONE-way.
