Several months ago, I wrote about real-time flight tracking from your PC. The next logical step, of course, is to track your flight from your web-enabled PDA. Here's a useful real-time flight-tracking application that I found for the Treo 650.



Type in the flight number for your flight all you and Flight Status returns the information for your flight. (Usually within 10-20 seconds.) If you do not know the flight number you may also fill in a small form and retrieve a list of flights for that airline.

The information it gives you is: Departure City, Arrival City, Departure Time,Arrival Time, as well as airspeed in knots, equipment and altitude. Some airports provide security check-point wait times. If available, they will be retrieved, too.

A useful tool for my mobile toolkit.

Do you have a favorite wireless productivity tool for your web-enabled PDA? If so, I'd like to know about it.
