Similar to the Air Canada announcement we reported a couple of days ago, Amtrak has announced a new Amtrak Mobile website service that allows BlackBerry users (as well as those with Treos or any web-enabled smartphone) to access reservations, cancellations, travel status and schedules.
“What is revolutionary about Amtrak Mobile is that you can be in a cab or subway, go on-line and check schedules, see if a train is on time, or change a reservation — all without any special downloads or registering.”
Amtrak says about 30,000 business travelers a day ride its trains between Washington and New York and Boston.
