Mobiata Announces iPhone Hotel Reservations with Travelocity

ANN ARBOR, MI, August 3, 2009 -- Top-selling travel app company Mobiata today announced the release of HotelPal, a new app enabling travelers to search, browse and book from millions of hotel rooms while on the go. HotelPal is available free on the iPhone App Store starting today and includes over a million hotel rooms, searchable by city, zip or current GPS location; detailed photos, amenities and descriptions; built-in Google Maps to compare hotel locations; real-time hotel availability and rates; and built-in hotel booking via the Travelocity Partner Network.

“HotelPal makes it easy and even enjoyable to find the right hotel in the right location at the right price,” said Phil Baker, travel and technology columnist at the San Diego Transcript. “It’s the app that Expedia or Orbitz should have released.”

HotelPal is the latest app from Mobiata, whose FlightTrack and FlightTrack Pro apps have topped the iPhone Travel bestseller list for nearly nine months -- virtually unheard of in the iPhone app industry.

“HotelPal’s minimalist user interface for browsing and reserving hotels makes it easy to find the right hotel on the go, even from an airport lounge or taxi,” said Ben Kazez, CEO of Mobiata. “It’s perfect for last-minute plans, canceled flights, road trips, or just exploring future destinations.”

Mobiata’s other apps, FlightTrack and FlightTrack Pro, have topped the iPhone Travel bestseller list since their release nearly nine months ago, garnering rave reviews from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Washington Post (TechCrunch), USA Today, Macworld, PC Magazine and others. Apple features FlightTrack in full-page ads in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, as well as in iPhone television commercials. Mobiata also offers iPhone application design and development services, enabling third parties to drive their iPhone projects to success. Learn more at www.mobiata.com.
