Has anyone seen an airplane power adapter for the Macbook Pro yet? I am ready to pull the trigger on the Macbook, but inflight power is a necessity for me!

    Continental Airlines now has normal 110v outlets at the seats.



    I think it's not on all thier airplanes yet though... gradually upgrading the fleet.

    It might only be in First Class also, I'm not sure.

    Neat site, but it is not quite up to date.

    In any case... I suppose you can assume that site gives you the MINIMUM amenities at each seat... in reality you might get more.

    Isn't odd that neither Apple nor any 3rd party has even mentioned an airplane charger yet?

    How exactly is an airplane adapter different from a normal adapter that comes with the computer?

    Look how annoying this is:

    This looks perfect, except that it is only good up to 75W, and I beleive that the new Macbook Pro adapter is 85w!

    Because most aircraft seat power outlets don't use the "standard" 110 v plug. (The idea was intended to prevent people from plugging in high-draw appliances and tripping circuit breakers for the entire system.)

    Anyone know if international flights with airlines like Lufthansa have plugs for at least current Powerbook adapters sold by Apple in coach?
