It's true, but they are as yet very rare. I've never seen one on a domestic flight, but I would imagine they are most likely to be on coast-to-coast flights. Of course, I never fly domestic business/first class because my cheap-ass employer won't pay for it, so it may be up there.
The plugs are not regular AC plugs, nor are they the standard car plug either. They are smaller and round. Usually one can get an adapter / correct cord for a
DC powersupply. It's a pain that they don't match the car type outlets, although it is kind of stupid that car DC power supplies are really just lighter recepticles. I think the airlines had the idea that car manufacturers would start installing the new more sensible plugs as extra outlets, but of course they haven't.
