Using laptops during take off and landing

The US is to lift an 'outdated' ban on airline passengers using laptops during take-off and landing.
This could soon mean a worldwide relaxation of the rules barring air passengers from using these electronic devices before a plane takes off - including the UK.
But mobile phones will still have to be kept switched off as they were not part of the research done by the The Federal Aviation Authority in the US. But they are now planning to look into that too.
Good news for all you gadget lovers.

I can manage a few mins without a laptop, I don't find it a problem.
In fact I would prefer that my fellow passengers were alert to what was happening around them during take-off and landing - just in case.0 -
BA have an announced a relaxation on the use of electronic devices:
