This news is a little old but Virgin Blue has launched a check-in app for BlackBerry called Check-Mate. The app lets Virgin Blue travelers in Australia to make flight bookings, changes and cancellations across the entire Virgin Blue domestic network from their BlackBerry. Check-Mate also allows you to select your seat and board via 2D barcode scanning. Boarding with your mobile is far more convenient and I’m looking forward to when paper is completely obsolete.
Check out the Virgin Blue app in App World.

It’s nice to have a unique set of icons and background, as well as some fancy animations in a theme, but they aren’t for everyone. Many users still prefer the default theme that comes with their BlackBerry, and this theme is geared towards them. The Ultra Today Plus theme is simply the default theme with a Today preview feature. The Today preview gives you a quick glance at what is happening, and it makes you realize the default Today is a little ugly.
Download the Ultra Today Plus theme free from the BlackBerryCool Store.
