Paul Reddick, Handmark ( News - Alert) CEO said in a statement that the new travel services from Pocket Express include the best flight status data available at any price, free or otherwise.
Reddick said that Handmark is pleased to bring Pocket Express Travel edition to iPhone and iTouch customers, so they too can have the freedom of knowing that an answer is only a click away.
Pocket Express is a news and information service found on Treo, BlackBerry ( News - Alert) and other smartphones. Handmark’s Pocket Express Travel edition for the iPhone and iTouch is a suite of free ad-supported travel services including the OAG – Official Airlines Guide.
Pocket Express OAG Flight Status combines the best from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as that of premium airline, and direct telemetry from aircraft. The solution delivers one of the most accurate estimates in the industry.
The unique Pocket Express enables customers to easily access data on 75,000 daily departures from over 3,500 airports worldwide. Because it is accurate, Handmark claims this same OAG data is what’s actually displayed on in-airport displays at many of the busiest terminals.
Customers who want to start using the new version of Pocket Express travel services on the iPhone or iTouch, can simply point the device’s Safari Web browser to pocketexpress.com by using Wi-Fi  or the mobile operator connection.
Handmark manages distribution partnerships around the world with major device manufacturers and operators.
