I like the idea of loading a small string from the web. I tested it on the simulator and the following code works fine if my internet is connected or not connected. I gave it a 2 second timeout...

-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
	NSString *connected = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mysite.com/smallfile.php"]];
	wait(20000);
	if (connected == NULL) {
		NSLog(@"Not connected");
	} else {
		NSLog(@"Connected - %@",connected);
	}
}

EDIT: Tested it on the device as part of a much bigger app. Works as expected in flight mode / normal connection. If you want to increase the timeout perhaps it might be worth it, but it's working fine for me!
