Mobile Travel Guide: tripwolf for the iPhone
VIENNA, AUSTRIA, Jun 09, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
The online social travel guide tripwolf launches the first iPhone
application for travelers, enabling them to search and download
professional, up-to-date travel information before and during their
travels.
The free iPhone application by tripwolf allows users to search and
download over 500,000 destinations worldwide and combines travel
information from professional travel guides such as "Marco Polo" and
"Footprint" with the cumulative knowledge of over 18,000 tripwolf
members. The tripwolf iPhone application is available for free and
can be used by anyone. Users can search the globe, download city
guides to use online or offline, flip through thousands of sights,
restaurants, hotels and much more. The application is currently
available in five languages -- English, German, Spanish, French and
Italian -- in any part of the world.
With the tripwolf iPhone application, users can gather all the
professional travel information currently available on the iPhone
without the need to be constantly connected to the Internet: The
information is available offline, and by shaking the iPhone, the
application offers recommendations close by. The tripwolf iPhone
application also allows users to choose how much information they
want to use offline and also takes different network connection
speeds into consideration. Users have the choice of downloading
either text only or the whole package that includes pictures.
"The possibility of using the tripwolf iPhone application offline was
extremely important to us. We wanted travelers not to worry about
paying high roaming costs," says Sebastian Heinzel, CEO of tripwolf,
"while still being able to access their personalized tripwolf guides
and benefit from location based interactivity."
Collaborating for several months with Salzburg Research, an Austrian
research organization focused on innovative mobile solutions, the
entire tripwolf team is excited to finally offer the innovative iPhone
tripwolf application. Alexander Trieb, the tripwolf co-founder
responsible for the implementation of the iPhone application, says:
"Thanks to Nicolas Goell and his research team in Salzburg we really
pushed the boundaries of the iPhone platform. By offering the
tripwolf iPhone application we are taking the logical next step in
the evolution of travel guides: Beyond the book."
