FlightAware has a pretty useful and free flight tracking app for BlackBerry smartphones. Now they have released a version that runs on the BlackBerry PlayBook. It allows you to track flights in real time and even map them. The PlayBook version is not shown on FlightAware’s website yet but it is available in App World.

Installed, but as many other users, after I gave the authorization to application to use my resources, there is only a black screen. Although I unistalled and reinstalled it several times, the same black screen is still there. I hope un update will be released soon because I like FligthAware (for PC) and it would be great to use it on my Playbook.

The first release had problems on some PlayBooks if the system locale was not set to one of the 13 supported languages, but the new 3.0.5 version should fix that by automatically falling back to English for those users.

I didn’t know this. My default language was English (CAN). However, this information should have been provided with the release 1.0. Anyway, it works fine now and I like it.
