FAA OKs Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and more for takeoff and landing

Pikachu, I choose you … to get me through this flight from Los Angeles to New York.

Earlier today, the Federal Aviation Administration loosened its rules on gadgets during commercial airline flights. It is now OK to use gaming devices like a Nintendo 3DS, a PlayStation Vita, or an Apple iPad during the flight and while the plane is taking off and landing. This means passengers can go gate-to-gate without ever turning off their favorite piece of consumer electronics.
