Kayak shafted BlackBerry users recently with a public announcement that they were dropping support and maintenance for us in January. They they proceeded to do an about face and released their Android app on the PlayBook using the Android runtime. Now they have further muddled the issue by releasing what seems to be a maintenance update for Kayak for BlackBerry Smartphones. The updated Kayak app brings us to v2.0.6 from the previous v2.0.4.
I am not sure if that means Kayak has decided to do the right thing and maintain support for their BlackBerry app or they just made a quick fix for a friend. Either way you can get the new v2.0.6 of Kayak in App World. Let us know if you score a change log.

Nice to see vendors returning I hope this becomes a trend… Def BB10 is the platform to bring ‘em back…

Looks like they didn’t drop their support for some reason and BB10 can’t be it in my opinion because (correct me if I’m wrong but) QNX already works with their app. There is a game changer somewhere and they didn’t even bother to remove their offical BlackBerry axe act.

Funny … I updated via AppWorld, which advertised v2.0.6, but the app itself shows 2.0.5. But at least the update can communicate with Kayak’s servers again. The old 2.0.4 has been unable to for several weeks.
