Talking about Smartphones and Travel

Here’s my brief recent interview with FOX Business on the topic of how both business and leisure travelers can use the vast number of apps on their smartphones for pre-trip planning, booking, check-in and during the trip with location aware apps as well as for social sharing. Had much more to talk about but the news about the latest runaway Toyota on that same day shortened the segment!

PhoCusWright has a lot more research and specific reports on the mobile market and its impact on the travel industry, including a brief special report I wrote last year on the iPhone and travel, with reviews of some of the many travel apps. Together with, and related to the social web, mobile is definitely a key area to watch with more innovation coming on stream and network speed improvements with the introduction of 4G.
