Orbitz released a new iPhone app that allows folks to quickly book a hotel while on the go. Available as a free download, Hotels by Orbitz provides users with an “intuitive search-and-book experience” and offers powerful comparison tools, secure booking in just three taps and Orbitz Mobile Steals. The last mentioned feature is touted to deliver exclusive, mobile-only discounts of up to 50% off hotel stays in popular cities worldwide, something that sounds pretty similar to Hotel Tonight’s offering.
The new Orbitz application comes on the heels of earlier mobile products and services offered by the popular travel site, including Orbitz apps for iPhone and Android, Orbitz Hotels app for iPad, Orbitz mobile website, and Orbitz Mobile Steals. All of them come with the same value that customers have come to expect when booking on Orbitz, including Automatic Price Assurance, Enhanced Low Price Guarantee and Orbitz Care Alerts.
Again, Hotels by Orbitz is free to download and you can get it from a link below.

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.
