Apple Thoughts: Speaking of Boarding Passes and the iPhone...

"Alright, lets pat the pockets and run through the mental checklist one last time before security: Passport? Check, front pocket. Headphones? Definitely in your backpack. Boarding pass? Uh oh. Where'd that boarding pass go?"

This story seems so appropriate considering the previous one about Virgin America. Trinity Mobile is one of the leaders in the mobile ticketing area, and they announced in the last couple days a 1200% increase in usage of their mobile boarding pass from 2008 to 2009. In 2008 there were 50,000 users and in 2009 Trinity Mobile hit the 600,000 mark. In 2010 Jupiter Research says that over 2 billion mobile boarding passes will be issued. I can see why, how handy would this be?
