TripCase travel app

With TripCase’s travel application, you can manage travel plans from an iPhone or BlackBerry, including flight status tracking, rental car reservations, and hotel booking.

The app, which is free, lets you upload photos to a personalized TripCase Web page, allowing you to share info and photos with friends. The app was previously available for iPhones and now for BlackBerry devices. (It’s free because the company runs destination-based ads seen by the user onscreen.)

Besides keeping you organized while you travel, the app will give real-time security line wait times, baggage claim info and gate changes — all things that are good to know well in advance.

The app displays weather info for your destination, airline phone numbers, and more. It is downloadable here: www.tripcase.com
