The celebration was fierce yesterday when spunky Irish operator Ryanair finally launched mobile phone connectivity following several delays. Dressed as a mobile phone, Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary joined OnAir's head honcho Benoit Debain in a bit of a a Can-Can dance. And why the hell not? A total 20 Ryanair Boeing 737s have been equipped with the system and the rest of the fleet is expected to be mobile-friendly within 18 months, as the Independent reports. Check out the pics below (note the ease at which the system can be turned ON and OFF...come on America, aren't we ready yet?)
