IM device could work on flight?

There was a popup idea in my brain last week. If the aireplain can provide a small wired gadget that supports IM functions, it could generate more funs on plane especially for those long distance trips. The device can link up with the armrest just as smaller as the headset provided, but with a foldable keyboard for fast typing. Since it's a long distance trip, it can even show differnt time zones you are crosing to tell your friends where are you(some positioning technolgies could be employed).

The security, the usablity... should be well designed to let peopel really buy in this concept. But it's fun to think of it. How many can be affordable to passengers? I guess US$10 is ok for me.
