Once you have done that, you can create flight alerts by inputting the date, airline, and flight number.
CITRIX RECEIVER KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS IPAD FREE
I am not a paying member because I do not travel enough to justify it.Ī free way to receive flight status messages is to create a free account on Flightstats. If you are a paying member then you can check on flight status, receive flight delay alerts, and view a Worldmate travel directory. Other useful features in the app include multiple clocks and a currency convertor. The app organizes the information by "trip". I can view my itinerary either through my calendar on my Blackberry, or by going into the app itself. This is a great, streamlined process for putting my travel plans and detailed itinerary into my Blackberry. The Worldmate Live app ( ) identifies itinerary emails that arrive in my inbox, extracts the necessary information from them, and adds the information to my Blackberry calendar and, as a result of my Blackberry calendar being synced with my firm's Microsoft Exchange servers, my Outlook calendar (taking timezones into account). But a good selection of quality apps is essential, and the iPad is miles (years?) ahead. I'm not one for comparing shere numbers of apps available on different platforms, since most iPad apps are stupid. For Playbook, as well as for Blackberry, they should have developed a better integration tool for those of us who use iTunes for our media collections.ĥ. If you don't have a blackberry already (you can interact with your Blackberry emails on your playbook), this device is not for you.Ĥ. When you think about the Blackberry's original purpose, this omission is a little bizarre. The iPad has the right screen size for typing away, using Citrix Receiver, etc., as well as other activities such as reading, making up PDFs, etc.ģ. Many vaunt the ability to stick a playbook in a suit pocket (my suit pockets are not big enough). The importance of screen size has been underestimated, in my view. The playbook does have VPN, but you have to hope it is the type supported in your corporate environment (there seems to be endless variations to VPN configurations).Ģ. If RIM wanted the Playbook a workable productivity tool in the corporate environment right of the bat, it should have worked hard to ensure a Citrix Receiver app as of day one.
The Playbook has an impressive screen, true multitasking, innovative yet intuitive gestures, DocumentsToGo pre-installed (for office document editing), a Facebook app (the iPad has third party Facebook apps) and Dropbox integration, through Bluebox. Lots of us have loved our blackberries for years, for the office tech integration and the mobility and flexibility they provide.
