Expedia's late booking app

iphone_expedia
Having marvelled at the ease and convenience of using the hotels.com app on my iPod Touch last summer, I see that Expedia are belatedly entering the iPhone (followed by Android) app market.

It will be interesting to see how this competes with the HotelTonight app which has gained substantial popularity due to its ease of use and the ability to find (and book) a hotel near you, by comparing your GPS position with its large database of hotels.

Considering I was at a two day Information Security event, it was ironic that the best technology conversation I had was actually on Wednesday evening, with Paul Miller of Cloud of Data. Topics ranged from iPhone/Android apps versus Chrome Apps to Cloud and Cloud Security.
