Flight Tracker app for iPhone

Just got the new iPhone and I'm looking for good travel apps. I see both Flight Tracker and Flight Status on the app store. Any opinion of these?

I just put this link
mobile.flightstats.com
on my iPhone.

Seems like it will work just as well as buying an app and saves me a couple of bucks.

I am working on something that will be linked into a web version. Not sure on a completion date as it is a side hobby for me, but it will be on the App store free of charge when completed.

Best of luck, let us know if you need testers at some point, I am sure there would be plenty of takers here on FT

I used SplashData's password manager, shopping list manager, & travel software for Windows Mobile phone before I switched over to iPhone. Bought their SplashID and SplashShopper for iPhone so just bought Flight Tracker as well. Flight Tracker is definitely not as robust as SplashTravel for Palm or Win Mobile OS devices and haven't had a chance to really use it. Will update with info once I use it more.

It is definitely still in the works, we are figuring out a few issues regarding data storage and holding the lat/longs for world airports on the iPhone

Points and Miles tracker

Hello, does anyone know of a good Iphone application to track hotel points and airline miles? Hopefully an application that updates information automatically without the need to manually enter data. Sort of like the "My portfolio" application on the Bank of America website...

Thanks

Thanks. they do indeed have a superb application. I like how it gets information about all my travel (hotel stays, flights etc.) and shows it on a single screen. Unfotunately, they don't offer American Airlines which I travel almost exclusively. Does anyone know of any other apps that do?

Thanks

I use "flighttrack" app. For me it's worth a few bucks to hav a dedicated app to stay up to date. It's great for connecting flight info, gate changes, times, etc.
