I-Pad with ForeFlight

Hello Folks! Interesting thread with some knowledgeable replies. Perhaps there is someone who can help me with my specific questions:

Does anyone know if using ForeFlight on the Ipad would violate the FCC restriction from using a cellphone in flight? (Does ForeFlight/Ipad use cellphone based internet connectivity?)

Will ForeFlight satisfy the FAA requirement to be able to verify the currency of navigation charts? Does the program store ALL charts on the Ipad, or does it do an internet query every time you pick a new destination?

Has anyone ever heard of a Part 135 Certificate Holder actually getting FAA approval to use the Ipad with ForeFlight as an approved, Class 1, Type B, EFB application?

Thanks,
Scott
