Expedia Updates Hotel Booking App for Smaller Tablets
By Kate Rice
Expedia.com has updated its app for the iPhone and Android OS, which adds full support for iPad and Android tablets. The original version, introduced in the spring, has become a popular hotel booking application. The tablet upgrade accommodates those travelers who leave their laptops at home and travel with their lighter tablets.
This means Expedia can capture last-minute bookers -- in more than half of the booking scenarios on the iPhone, customers book hotels for the same night. The app has real-time availability of more than 130,000 hotels, one-tap ability to comparison shop, GPS capabilities, access to more than 4 million individual traveler reviews and more.
