Psiloc today announced the release of Flight Assistant, a downloadable plug-in that enables mobile phone users to not only search and check the status of flights, but to also be alerted to flight status changes automatically. The Flight Assistant plug-in, available as a premium download for €5.95 for a 30-day subscription, or €29.95 for a one-year subscription, is currently available for a limited time on a free-trial basis.
“We took a look at the market and saw that there was a real need for such an application,” Marek Filipiak, Psiloc founder and president, said. “The frequent flier is going to find himself in situations where his flight has been changed or delayed—it’s the nature of the beast—but being informed of such changes real time can really take the stress out of a business trip.”
A prototype version of the Flight Assistant plug-in was debuted to much fanfare under the “Flights” moniker at the Nokia World ’09 conference last month. The new upgrade will now be rebranded and marketed as Flight Assistant, a plug-in for Psiloc’s already popular World Traveler platform for mobile phones.
