You could just bookmark the CO site. Unfortunately with BlackBerry's OS you can't put a web page bookmark on your phone's desktop, though. You can with Android, so I have a CO icon right there on one of my home screens I can use for one touch access to the PDA site.

I think CO could add some functionality to the PDA site, but I still prefer that site to a stand-alone app. The problem with an app is they have to support it across multiple platforms — if CO launched is on BlackBerry, then the iPhone and Android and Web OS users would all be wanting it too — whereas the PDA site works across all mobile device operating systems. The PDA site is pretty good too. It's very rare I need it to do something it doesn't already do.
