pda.continental.com Update?/Suggestions
A while back, CO Insider mentioned a planned update of the CO pda website. Any news?

Suggestions
Guess there isn't any updated info just yet.
1. I'd like to see the flight status info from the pda site mirror the regular website. I assumed that they both pulled form the same data source but I've found that they'd show different info for the same flights.
2. Online check-in via pda. I'd really like it to work on a treo.
That's it for now,

Hi Nesta, I don't yet have a timeframe for the flight status update for pda.continental.com. The pda check-in application, however, is not too far away. It's the initial stages of testing and is expected to launch in early 2007.

I justed debuted here in the CO forum.
If you can give us PDA check in, you're on top of it.
I do wonder if we would still need to have the boarding passes faxed, since PDA's don't print...
Also, 'seems I have to log in everytime I browse to another section of the PDA site. Otherwise, seems to work well.
Thanks for your input!

Speaking of which, how about an update to the Palm(prc) flight schedule so that we can use 5-way navigation support instead of having to use a stylus

Thanks.
I've found both to be about worthless when it comes to CO flight status and have started using http://mobile.orbitz.com/ instead. Which, surprisingly updates sooner than either of CO's sites and can be navigated with one hand.
Thanks for the heads up on the site. Much much better than CO's offering.

Still not working
... worse, despite CO's statements to the contrary pda.contintenal.com still doesn't work. More often than not (at least for me - always) I'm not able to retrieve my itineraries on the site. It just keeps returning me to the signin screen. I've reported it repeatedly to support and they keep saying they're going to fix it and haven't.

You can still use wap.continental.com
far more reliable, although it might not have all the features the pda.x site offers.
