Recently, Virgin Atlantic began offering an iPhone application for people who are scared of flying. The application puts the company's Flying Without Fear course on a mobile platform to help put travelers' minds at ease. Within the course, you'll get answers to frequently asked questions, relaxation exercises and fear therapy, and more.

Although this application isn't available for PDAs at the moment, I think it's good that more and more creative applications for mobile platforms are becoming available. I welcome your thoughts: What do you think of this new application? Perhaps more importantly, would you use it?

During a recent interview with Engadget, Steve Ballmer revealed that Zune integration on Windows Mobile is coming in the next release of the software.

Given that Apple's iPhone has offered iTunes integration since Day 1, it's about time Microsoft got with the program and started integrating Zune functionality into its mobile OS. It's still unclear if Ballmer was referring to Windows Mobile 7 (which is expected sometime next year) or if he meant an intermediate Windows Mobile update, but the former seems a bit more likely.
