    Did you use Flightcaster or Farecast (now Bing travel)? I thought FlightCaster was about predicting flight delays, not ticket prices.

      Whoa, you are correct of course. I tend to get those two mixed up. The original comment was not about Flightcaster at all, so I deleted it. I suppose there is a lesson in here somewhere about brandname uniqueness. Regardless, congrats to Flightcaster!

  What is their "proposed use of Amazon Payments solutions"? I was under the impression that the only money they have coming in right now is from the iphone/blackberry app.

    FTA: "FlightCaster will be creating an alternative flight recommendation engine and the ability to re-book a flight with a single click from a smart-phone. They will offer Amazon Payments as a payment method to enable their customers to purchase tickets conveniently from any mobile device."
