American Airlines iPad App Coming Soon

Recognizing the inevitable requirements from the consumer market, and the way mobile devices have evolved into hand-held personal assistants, concierges and bookkeepers for people on the go, today American Airlines announced the release of their first iDevice application.

The application allows you to stay connected with the airline while traveling. The application data allows American to provide the most relevant day-of-travel information for you.

This means the application knows and displays who you are and where you’re going, from where you’re departing and what gate, your seat information, and your status on the standby list.

Although the company has started with the iPhone application launch, American Airlines will launch an iPad-specific application in the coming weeks. In addition, expect more updates as the airline continues to enhance the capabilities of their tool. As expected, the current version of the application will work with iPod Touch (second generation or newer), iPhone/iPhone 3G/3GS/4 and the iPad.

Future versions of the application will utilize your iDevices global positioning features, enable push notifications and international flight check-In, allow you to request and view the upgrade list, along with other functions that will enhance your overall experience.
