You’re racing to the airport to catch the first flight out. You’re running through the terminal, bumping into strangers and spilling coffee on your newly pressed shirt. Finally you reach the display screens that hold the status of your flight’s fate and…DELAYED!? Where’s the airline representative!? You’d like to have a few words with them—after you’ve washed the mocha latte out of your shirt of course.

If you’ve ever had to suffer through the effects of an ill-timed flight delay, then there’s a new application for you. Flightcaster’s delay predictor brings you flight updates six hours before the airline alerts tell you that your plane has stopped in Texas for a “short period of time.”

Bringing alerts straight to your Blackberry, iPhone or the web, Flightcaster not only factors in information from the airlines – it also considers the weather conditions, air-traffic info and more. It then takes that data and calculates the odds that your flight will arrive/leave on time.

So, put down the stain remover and pick up your portable device—your fight with the gal behind the counter has been delayed.
