IC2 trains in finland have electric sockets in 2nd class seats, As well
as GSM repeaters. Older trains have electric sockets in the corridor,
presumably not for public usage, but no sign forbidding to use them :)

Night trains usually have a socket for shavers, which can be rather
handy for charging purposes as well.

A quick grep on bahn.de says that ICE-T trains (presumably the most
expensive ones..) have power sockets for every seat. Anyone with
experience on german/austrian railroad?

Yes. a debcamp of users would probably blow some fuse :)

But still, using a laptop in a train is more comfortable than on a bus,
or God forbid, on a car.
