Hot on the heels of their iPhone application, Air Canada has released an app for BlackBerry which lets you check-in, board, receive important notifications and look up flight status. This is way handier than the web signal for BlackBerry that they had before, and complements their other mobile services, like 2D barcode boarding passes, very nicely. Of course, it’s only on Air Canada, so if you’re flying with anyone else, you might want to take a look at WorldMate Live. If Air Canada is your first choice (and even if it isn’t, you can archive the app on your SD card), check out the BlackBerry App World for more info.

In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.
