The new mobile travel software from Shopqwik.com allows you to save time by booking a holiday in a traffic jam, or paying the London congestion charge over breakfast. Shopqwik.com’s service means the user can book flights, hotels, car hire, beach resorts and pay the London congestion charge, all at the press of a button.
For the first time in Europe, the Shopqwik service allows users to make complete bookings without wasting time on a maze of call centre options or trawling through websites. It takes just 90 seconds to book a flight from start to finish and two key presses to pay the congestion charge. With flight details and a reservation ID for check-in all accessed via the phone, Shopqwik users can just grab their passports and go.
The Shopqwik software meets the needs of any busy global traveler – car hire can be booked in 6,000 locations, and flights can be booked with Ryanair, Easyjet and 25 other budget airlines all over Europe. For accommodation, 30,000 hotels are available worldwide. Even a last minute beach apartment in the Med is only seconds away. All this can be achieved in complete security as no transaction details are stored on the phone.
Shopqwik goes even further by keeping its customers up to date with a handy free service, emailing and texting all the booking details, and even re-sending the text the day before travel as a timely reminder. Booking information is available at the touch of a button on a phone or to view on a PC, where customers can resend booking emails.
Shopqwik also offers an additional service not available on most travel websites – anyone booking a “city hotel” can modify the dates of the booking and cancel it entirely in seconds. Nice.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
