FAA now allows certain electronics to be used during takeoff and landing

Good news for travelers! The Federal Aviation Association (FAA) just made it known that it will now allow some gadgets to be used during takeoff and landing. For as long as passengers aren't sending or transmitting data or voice signals and maintain their devices on Airplane Mode, they will be allowed to use them. This means smartphones, tablets, eReaders, handheld gaming devices and MP3 as well as CD  and DVD players can continue to enjoy their devices. The changes will take time and they are up to the discretion of individual airlines but this is definitely welcome news.
