Marriott International is finally going for the increasing number of smartphone users with a launch of mobile apps for three major platforms – iOS, Android and BlackBerry. Developed in partnership with AT&T, the new application allows users to quickly find nearby hotels, book a room, check their upcoming reservation(s) and get details about their hotel all with the photos. What’s more, those with a Marriott Rewards account can access the benefits from their smartphone, while others (presuming they’re interested) can enroll right from within the application. Additionally, there are city guides with helpful tips, maps and the ability to call a Marriott hotel.
In total, the mobile app gives you access to Marriott’s vast network of more than 3,600 hotels and resorts in 70 countries all around the world.
Finally, if you don’t have a compatible smartphone (or don’t want to install yet another app), you can visit Marriott.com to access most of the features the native app offers…

Dusan Belic
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.
