UPS Mobile App for BlackBerry announced

UPS has announced an industry-first application for BlackBerry devices that not only ships and tracks packages but also finds the nearest UPS location. Available tomorrow for free downloading at www.blackberry.com/appworld, the new UPS Mobile App for BlackBerry enables users to track shipments, create shipments using the My UPS address book, calculate shipping rates and time-in-transit and then find the nearest UPS location.

BlackBerry users can use their smartphones to access their My UPS Address Book and Preferences and create shipping labels, which can be e-mailed in a PDF file for printout. Once the label is printed, customers can use the application's “find locations” feature to easily find a UPS drop-off location.

The UPS Mobile App supports the BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Tour and the BlackBerry Curve 8900. For more information on the new application, users can visit www.ups.com/blackberry.
