I noticed Delta's iPhone site back in December when I got stranded in JFK for a few hours. I haven't noticed any abnormalities in pricing - maybe I will attempt my next ticket purchase via iPhone.

I like the site quite a bit - much more than the old mobile site. That said, the iPhone site is still slightly buggy, especially the Skymiles summary page (my page currently says the mileage expires in 2520 and that I have no activity for the previous 12 months).

After a bit of research, I think Blackberries will be going the way of the Dodo and Pan-Am here within the next year. I expect the iPhone to get 99% market share in this time. Using this data, I think it would be wise for Delta to develop an iPhone application. For those of you who would be interested in analyzing my research, here are the numbers I've found.

Number of applications having to do with producing rude gastrointestinal noises:

Blackberry: 3
iPhone: Over 100


Number of applications which will send a photo to some random user in the world and let them respond with another photo:

Blackberry: 0
iPhone: 1


Number of applications which will emulate a theremin:

Blackberry: 0
iPhone: 1
