RIM launches BlackBerry Traffic app in beta

Real-time data on the road.

Research In Motion has added its BlackBerry Traffic beta app to the BlackBerry App World Store.

The app provides users with real-time data on traffic and road closures for a predetermined route, as well as an estimated time of arrival (ETA).

As its App World blurb explains, it's also one of RIM's much-vaunted 'Super Apps', tying in with other features of the BlackBerry OS.

"Heading to a friend's place? Simply grab their address from your BlackBerry contact list, get your ETA, then email or text it along with a preset message to avoid keeping them waiting and wondering when you're going to arrive."

The app was first unveiled at RIM's BlackBerry Developer Conference last November.
