Tip: Travelocity Optimized for iPhone

Got an iPhone or iPod touch? Travel often? If the answer to both those questions is yes, you may want to try directing the iPhone's Safari browser over to iphone.travelocity.com to access a version of Travelocity that's been optimized for Apple's iPhone.

The new web application is streamlined to allow you to manage your Travelocity itineraries through a My Trip icon (it helps to be a Travelocity customer) and receive information on flight status, TSA security point wait times, local weather, maps, traffic and airport driving directions through the iPhone portal's Flight Information icon.

Travelocity isn't the only company to offer streamline travel information for iPhone and iPod touch users. A week ago, mobile software developer Handmark unveiled a free Travel version of its Pocket Express wireless information portal for these devices.

This version of Pocket Express offers unlimited access to airline schedules and flight status; hotel information and bookings from Hotels.com; dozens of click-to-call travel numbers (airlines, rental car agencies, etc.); around-the-clock travel reservations service; and automatic conversions for 164 global currencies. To access Pocket Express, simply point Safari over to www.pocketexpress.com.
