Add Continental to gadget-friendly airlines

Continental has joined the elite ranks of Virgin America, American, United, even the illustrious AirTran and have made the decision to offer WiFi on itsflights. The new service will begin rolling out before summer 2010. Continental will use Gogo Inflight Internet as the WiFi provider.

Interestingly, Gogo offers different rates depending on the device you are using. For example, laptop users will pay $4.95 for flights up to 1.5 hours, $9.95 for a single flight between 1.5 and 3 hours, and $12.95 for a single flight over 3 hours. Mobile device users can opt for a $7.95 plan that covers a single flight, no time limit. A 24 hour pass is available, as is a 30 day pass.

While usually misers, we don’t think these prices are ridiculous. Inflight WiFi is finally here. Hooray!
