A fresh BlackBerry app is on the way that will make life considerably easier for those who ship a lot of packages. UPS is delivering a BlackBerry application tomorrow that allows you to track packages, create shipping labels, find UPS locations, and get quotes on shipment costs and delivery times. By signing up with a My UPS ID, you can get some added functions, like accessing your address book and payment options, and assign nicknames to certain shipments. UPS for BlackBerry will be available tomorrow for free from the App World, but in the meantime you can get a preview of the app here, or just use their mobile site.
