Sure discretion signal generated by devices such gadgets can interfere with the signal flying and endanger the airplane safety.

Technology has evolved in such a way, since the September 26th, 2014, EU aviation authorities (EASA) allow passengers to use portable electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops and e-reader when the aircraft is in its flight.

Authorization to use it only applies to European airspace, with the provisions provided by the rules of any airline which need to be adhered to airline passengers.
