Orbitz has today launched a new iPhone app that features a travel hotel booking system for people on-the-go. From the app, it’s users will be able to browse through hotel offerings by location and other filters and book a room right then and there.

In addition to this, users are given discounts on hotels with some even offering as much as 50%. Not too shabby for me. LOL.

Hotels by Orbitz comes as a free download from the iTunes App Store.

After leaving Apple, Rubinstein joined HP with the primary goal of remaking Palm to compete with other mobile operating systems. Most likely, we will be able to see him appear in one of the leading mobile companies in the near future.

We were not surprised when Google did not include Facebook syncing with their new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update. I mean, why would they, if they have their own social network (Google+) now? Unfortunately, many Android users have grown reliant on the Facebook sync feature with regards to building their Address book and it does at some level suck that the feature would be taken away in ICS handsets.

However, if you don’t mind rooting your ICS device, then you probably want to try MoDaCo ROM as it effectively restores the Facebook sync feature you’ve always loved. Although the feature comes with the paid version only.

I’m sure Facebook and Google would somehow come to an agreement with regards to this, but if you’re the type who would like to flash a lot of ROMs anyway, then I think this worth a few bucks.

This will definitely encourage developers to make more apps for the OS as they could score more profits in the long run apart from other mobile operating systems.

While some have reported minor complains for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it is still hard not to recognize it’s impressive capabilities. The Galaxy Nexus came with NFC support, a rocking processor, a kickass back camera and most of all, it is the first phone to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Now, new reports state that even it’s front facing camera is so awesome that it could record 720p HD videos. I am no fan of video chatting but I think it would still come in handy for those that long for a better video calling quality.

It’s confirmed, if you live in Indonesia and you’ve been wanting a taste of BlackBerry, then why not wait for the BlackBerry Bold 9790 as it is coming to you on November 25. The BlackBerry 9790 features a 2.4 inch display with a pixel resolution of 640 x 480 and will be running OS 7.

Storage will come in the form of an 8 GB internal memory and will be sporting NFC technology. Why Indonesia you ask? Well, from what I heard, the country is one of RIM’s biggest customers and it just makes sense for the company to bring their best to those who really want them.

Three UK is offering the phone with a two-year contract of 34 GBP/month plan while the Big Red is offering the phone with a two-year plan of 41 GBP a month. Sounds reasonable to me.

You can catch the phone’s full specifications from HTC or from the two networks’ websites.

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus features a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and is fitted with a 7-inch display. It will be running Android Honeycomb out of the box.
