Most cell phones take at least ten seconds to boot up.

Are you really that uninformed about phone tech, jiggy?

Not everyone has their phone off when they're supposed to...haven't you ever watched what people do on an airplane? The people with Blackberries/iPhones put them in "flight mode" where the phone transceiver is off, but the rest of the PDA/cam function great.

I think they’re talking about an actual stand-alone camcorder, not a cell phone with video capabilities.

Well, ok. You can think whatever you wish.

But since they don't even know where this guy is, who he was, or what he looked like, I'm pretty sure this article doesn't accurately convey the classification of a video recorder.

"Does it use cassettes, or SD cards or internal flash or what, sir?" is not a question I suspect anyone on board was asking the fella. A few GB flash memory could record the entire flight at low camera-phone resolutions.

Sam,

As a side note. You seem to be informed about video camcorders. I am planning on purchasing a new DVD camcorder to replace my old mini 8 camcorder. Any suggestions on the new technology our there today?

Go ahead and offer some a chart summarizing market share and boot times of phones of various capabilities, or some kind of constructive rebuttal, instead of unprovoked and pointless name-calling. I really don't need the attitude or the trolling.
