Last time I was on American (January 1), flying in coach class, there 
was
a guy with a PC laptop who was looking for a power outlet so he could 
play
a DVD. He asked one of the flight attendants if there was power at his 
seat.
I heard the attendant say that almost all the rows have outlets, usually
one per group of seats and they're buried under the seat. The attendant
checked his seat and said that he happened to be seated in one of the
few rows without an outlet. Since the guy's wife was in a different row
he was able to trade his seat with someone else and end up with both
a power outlet and a chance to sit next to his wife for the flight.

If you can't get good information from the web sites that others have
provided, try calling the airline to see if they have better 
information.
 From the sounds of it, American pretty much has laptop power outlets
throughout all of their planes. I'm not sure about their commuter 
airline
partners though (Am. Eagle). I'd imagine that if they have outlets the
other major carriers would have them or be thinking about installing
them too.
