Earlier this year American Airlines released the official version of their app, and to promote it they are launching the "Mobile Million Sweepstakes". One lucky winner will be awarded one million AAdvantage air miles, and one winner each day for 30 days will also receive the Barnes & Noble NOOK Color.

All you have to do to take part in this giveaway is reside in the U.S. and download the American Airlines Android app from the Android Market. Then simply watch the video and register through the pop-up. If you don't own an Android phone, there is an alternative online entry form for you poor misguided souls.

The giveaway will end on April 28 2011.

As a reminder, the app itself lets you:

  • view your reservation info
  • check in
  • access your mobile boarding pass
  • view your place on upgrade and standby lists
  • take pictures of where you parked
  • view your Elite status and progress
  • book flights
  • check flight status and schedules
  • play Sudoku

Check out their overly enthusiastic video for a sampling of how great the app is and how much it can change your life. [/sarcasm]
