Mobile itinerary management and travel booking app WorldMate just got better, at least for iPhone users who got the completely re-designed hotel booking experience. The enhancements, which are a result of WorldMate’s exhaustive study of the booking behavior of millions of its customers, should make the process easier while at the same time offering more options to the users.
Here’s what’s included:
- Personalized hotel recommendations for trips with missing accommodations based on the traveler’s context, preferences and profile.
- Instant search for same-day reservations of nearby hotels.
- Special hotel deals.
- Counter offers for hotels booked outside of WorldMate – so you always get the best price.
- A massive inventory of rooms spanning over 100,000 hotel properties worldwide.
- Storage of corporate and personal credit cards for “single click” bookings.
- Payment settlements in 20 currencies.
- Ability to sort and filter results by price, star rating or proximity to nearby points of interest.
- Mapped search results pinpointed the hotel locations.
WorldMate is available as a free download though there’s also a “Gold” version of the app that includes several additional features for $9.99…

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.
