5 Great iPhone Apps for Travel

I'm a new iPhone user and took it on an inaugural trip while traveling recently. There were a lot of pre-loaded applications that turned out to be really useful while out galavanting -- things like local weather reports and Google Maps. On the recommendation of Mashable, I downloaded Tweetie 2 which allowed me to tweet, post

Hi Kim!

Thanks for the recording advise! I think what we need to do is a few 'practice' movies just to get comfortable in front of the camera and to see what it looks like when you go to edit it. I find that when I'm shooting it seems like I have everything I will need until later on when editing I want to kick myself because some obvious and critical thing is missing :) I guess practice makes perfect.

Hi Kim- Would love to come to the TBEX conference, and congrats on the initiative, but unfortunately (or indeed fortunately) I shall be gallivanting around Brazil checking out beautiful new pousadas (places to stay) for www.hiddenpousadasbrazil.com Next stop Amazon lodges, then off to a few deserted beaches in Bahia, finishing in the mountains near Rio. If you want to come down this way sometime, just let me know.
Cheers
Alison

Hi Kim ~

I was just wondering if the archived stream of TBEX is available somewhere for viewing yet? I couldn't find it, but might not be looking in the right place.

Hope your travels are taking you to incredible places ~

Hi Kim, need your advice please. The TBEX '09 conference looks great, just wondering if I'd feel lost. I've been working in the travel industry for 25 years (with lots of good, rich content to write), but I'm new to blogging. Will the technical aspects be over my head? Looks like the topics are fairly general and not too technical. Would I fit your target audience? I am not attending the BlogHer conference, but I'd love to road trip in from Minnesota, make it a long weekend with my kids, and attend your conference on Sunday. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hey Kim, I know you're probably really busy organizing the conference, but I still wanted to invite you to a little meetup I'm organizing at noon in Wicker Park Sat., July 25.

We'll eat some delicious food, soak up the rays and listen to the bands for some general chilling out before the conference.

Please RSVP on Facebook

If you can't make it, please introduce yourself to me on Sunday!

Hey Kim ~

I just realized that I'll be in Bryce National Park as part of my Roads Scholars trip during the Travel Blog Exchange. I'm not going to be able to catch the live streaming and was wondering if you are planning on taping and archiving the stream for viewing after the conference. If so, can you please let me know where I'll be able to find it?

Thank you!
