The Jibbigo app should be something handy to have along especially for travelers who have to deal with some language barriers. Translation is a key necessity for some people and with the use of their iPhone and this translating app, live could be easier and clearer for them. The app is the Jibbigo app which can translate spoken English dialects into Spanish and vice-versa. However it can only record and translate one sentence in a time which may still need some effort on the iPhone owner’s part. But it is better than not understanding one another at all!

The Jibbigo app is now available and retails for $24.99.

People who have the Palm Pre will be glad to note that they can now be able to take control of their travel plans thanks to this new app called FlightView. FlightView allows users to take note of their flight scheduled and avoid the rush or delays when it comes to actual flight departures.

This app should be a big help for people on the go and who hate being made to wait in cases of delays due to unseen circumstances. And if you think that is enough, wait until you check out other functionalities that include:

• Flight status alerts give travelers immediate notification of changes to the flight – status changes, delays or cancellations. The FlightView app uses Pre notifications to update the user of status changes or delays - whether it is opened or closed - giving users the information they need to act on.
• Interoperability with Pre’s calendar gives travelers a visual look at travel plans while guarding against double-booking appointments – flight details are viewable while the calendar shows the schedule from departure to arrival.
• A notes field for managing all aspects of a trip, such as rental car, hotel and other reservations. Phone numbers, reservations numbers and locations are all in one easy-to-read location.

The FlightView app is available via Pre’s on-device beta App Catalog.
