American Airlines has mobile boarding passes

Here’s something cool. I would certainly use it – mobile boarding passes. American, which I’ve had no shortage of bad luck with, is rolling out its Mobile Boarding Passes program, according to mobilecrunch.

American Airlines has hopped on board with the launch of their Mobile Boarding Passes program. If you’re flying out of Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), or Orange County (SNA), you’re given the option to send a digital boarding pass to your cell phone via e-mail. The boarding pass contains a QR-code-ish bar code – security will scan this, and you’re on your way.

Judging by the comments on the mobilecrunch site, other airlines – Alaska, Lufthansa – already have something similar in place.


Sorry, Google maps does not work with the iPhone

What?

Google announced that it’s cool mobile team has taken the Google Maps street view to the hand held screens. But not to my iPhone.

Visiting the Google site with an iPhone produces this message: “Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your Apple iPhone.”
