Airbnb: Find Your Vacation Rental on iPhone

By

When going out-of-town or overseas, one of the first things you take note off is the lodging. Travelers, in many cases, go around town to find places to stay, and this can be quite a hassle, especially if most of the places are fully booked. This concern is readily addressed by an iPhone application that acts as an online booking and rental solution for bed and breakfasts: Airbnb.
The Airbnb application, just likeits website, lets users book and reserve their accommodations on the Internet, with the use of their mobile phone. The repository of rooms and bed and breakfasts is massive, providing you at least a decent number of lodging options all across the globe. This bodes well for practical travelers, as they won’t be forced to spend several nights at a pricey hotel.
Airbnb’s listing of bed and breakfasts is well organized. You can zone in on particular lodging types, such as Shared Room, Entire Place and Private Room. Booking a reservation is as easy as a few key presses on your phone’s keypad. The places lodging for lodging each have profile pages, through which you can message the owner for bookings and inquiries. Listed on the profile are images, amenities, rates and information about the property.
Apart from such, the iPhone application contains a map for each of the places listed. With this, you won’t go through a lot of trouble in finding the place. You can simply book through the app, head to the property and enjoy your vacation, leaving out boatloads of stress.
Also, if there are special offers given by property owners, Airbnb lists them all down on the Featured section. The already cheap bed and breakfast rates stand to get even more affordable, so make it a point to view this section from time to time.
People who want to rent out their properties can use Airbnb to find customers. Setting the rates can be a problem, and the application helps you out on this aspect. It has a feature that valuates your property, based on your location and other factors.
The financial transactions between host and guest happen on the application, with the app taking only a small percentage of the rental fee. The payments are routed through Paypal or Direct Deposit.
If you’re planning for the next trip and searching for some unique accommodations, check out the Airbnb app!

Ipad 2 Accesories

By
Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

By
Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
