If you find yourself doing a lot of last-minute driving, Proxpro is running a closed beta of its travel app Prompt which determines where your next calendared appointment is, determines the fastest route based on congestion and your current location, ballparks when you should leave and gives an estimated travel time. The only downside right now is that it’s U.S. only, but it still sounds like a pretty handy app, and it’s hard to argue with free. Thanks Josep!

Download keeps failing. Won’t download some zip file.
Hi Nicole,
The download at http://wap.proxpro.com/prompt is for downloads direct to your BlackBerry. If you wish to sideload the program from a PC go to: http://www.getjar.com/products/14555/Prompt
scroll down to download Prompt. I think the download direct to BB is the easiest route.
I hope this helps. If not please email me at julianbourne “at” sign proxpro.com
Best wishes,
Julian
