This is also true for wireless PDAs and some other wireless communication devices.
It is unlikely that even these will interfere as they operate on a frequency far from the equipment used in aircraft with the exception of ADF. Primarily radio communication and possibly fly-by-wire components are a concern but you are unlikely to encounter a problem there either.
You may hear the effects if you ever use these devices near an AM radio.
I haven't put in .02 yet so I thought it only appropriate to pay my dues.
I gues I should have put a sarcastic smiley by my post...I thought the part about "and will make it fall out of the sky" would be enough...
