Got my wife an Optimus S on Black Friday (100% free, gotta love it).

Anyway, yesterday she flew out of Washington-Dulles airport. When she got on the plane, still sitting on the ground, the phone asked her if she wanted to turn on airplane mode.

How did it know?

I don't think she has the GPS turned on (but I guess I should check), but it didn't offer while she was in the terminal, only after she got on the plane.

How did it know she was on a plane? This seems weird.

Google knows where you are at all times...haven't you heard?
