Free & Official BlackBerry Travel App Version 1.1 Now Available For Download

By Mauricio

RIM today released a new version of the official BlackBerry Travel application in BlackBerry App World. Since its launch in mid-February, localized versions were introduced in 5 languages and 49 countries with 1 million downloads. I can tell you from experience in using this app that it’s a must-have for anyone who travels even a little. Here are the new features in version 1.1:

• Mobile Rental Car Booking: To get you where you need to go, you can now book a rental car from almost any rental car agency anywhere in the world, whenever you need transportation.
• World Clock: One of the most often-requested features, we now have a world clock that has been designed to allow you to track the time across multiple locations worldwide. This is very handy when trying to figure the best time to call family back home!
• Support for Car and Hotel Bookings in local currencies: We’ve added 20 international currencies to accommodate booking in local currencies.

The latest version also adds support for the BlackBerry Pearl and Style smartphone models as well as updated weather icons and more. For more info and to download BlackBerry Travel version 1.1 go to blackberry.com/travel or search for it in App World.
