Japanese airlines ban playing PSP, DS on planes

Japanese airliners have banned all gaming systems with Wi-Fi capabilities from being played on board. The move comes after Japan’s transport ministry decided “electromagnetic waves emitted by the consoles have the ability to interfere with aircraft navigation systems and other devices.”

What I find interesting is that while other wireless devices like mice and headphones have also been banned, laptops seem to have avoided the ban. Any guesses why?
