The iPhone is not the only one with apps. Okay, so the iPhone has hundreds of apps and developers are in the works of more. But, the Blackberry users can enjoy good apps too. Once again, this is yet another way for me to attempt to persuade everyone to stay with the Blackberry, or move to one. I’m still a big believer that the Blackberry is the easiest phone to type on for e-mails and text messages. Alright, I digress…back to the subject.
The blackberry is known for business technology use. So, based on that premise, I’ll discuss the most popular business travel apps. Well, these apps are more for the leisure part of your business trip, or just for travelling for pleasure in general.
Here are the top 5 Blackberry travel apps you can enjoy:
- WorldMate Live – Organize your airport, hotel, rental car all in one spot. This personal itineray updates you to flight delays and travel info for hotels. You can also get currency conversion and local LinkedIn contacts in the area.
- Poynt – Wherever you are, you can find local restaurants, movies, gas stations, weather and more. For all you old Palm users, this is like a beefed up Vindigo app.
- Urbanspoon – Like Zagat’s on your Blackberry, you can find all the reviews for local restaurants. The cool factor is that the view is in the form of a slot machine.
- Buzzd – Become a local wherever you go and find out what’s hot in town. Get the skinny and shows, events, and attractions during your trip.
- Navita Translator – In a foreign country or Chinatown? No problem. Use this app to translate any language on the screen or out loud.
These travel apps are easy to install and don’t requre a computer expert. And that’s good news because you’ll get limited tech support from the companies of these Blackberry apps.
