Mobile Passport App slated to start April, 13th.
A little heads up. I mentioned this in the travel/safety forum but I'll mention it here too.
Effective April 13th, you'll be able to use the mobile app in addition to GE, OneStop and the APC kiosks. 10 units have been installed.
Those that are interested in learning more can use the link.

Thanks for the update -- seems like a smart way to get the queues down.
This may be a stupid question, but how does this app interact with GE? Any idea which will be faster? Will people using the app just proceed right to baggage claim or will they have to wait in line?

At ORD, it's still to be seen.
I doubt that MPC can save me time over GE at ORD unless: GE machines break down; and/or the MPC line is placed such that it ends up being a shorter walk to reach from my flight's arrival door than the GE kiosks would be from my flight's arrival door. in the latter case, it would be as it is with one-stop at ORD in terms of the major time saving coming from the shorter walk.

Will I still have to go through U.S. customs if I use the Mobile Passport App?
Yes. However, the Mobile Passport App speeds up the process and allows you to use a special, faster lane.
