As mentioned earlier, Research In Motion is rolling out updates to some popular BlackBerry applications today. BBM v6.1.0.49 has already started popping up for many users in App World, and now BlackBerry Travel v2.0.16.99 is showing as well. If you are an avid traveler, you likely already know about this app, and use it. From the Inside BlackBerry blog:
The updated BlackBerry Travel app virtually plans your trips for you, from airport pick up and drop off to accommodations and scheduling. You’ll be able to find deals on hotel and car rental options, or arrange for limo service to and from an airport. Plus, you can rest easy knowing that the BlackBerry Travel app will quickly notify you if your flight is delayed or cancelled, and that it can help you find a new flight right away. No matter where you do your booking, the automatic trip scanning feature can pull your trip details into the app, so you don’t have to. See all your travel updates in one place as they happen, and don’t worry about double and triple checking your itinerary; if you’ve missed anything, BlackBerry Travel will let you know!
If the update isn't showing for you yet, you can try refreshing App World (hold Alt and press R,S,T) or just wait a bit and check back later.
