Lo Zeno, you're absolutely correct. The equipment does *not* interfere with the electronics of the aircraft. They where afraid it might way back then, but a lot of tests have shown zero impact. Even in a lot of hospitals it is no longer prohibited to have a cell phone switched on (sound off though...), including the IC.
However, unfortunately regulations always are behind the real world. So, although I know it cannot do any harm, I do switch off my telephone. My e-book reader only when asked and that happens only 1 in 10 cases. I do not want to piss of a bunch of people keeping me in the air...
