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

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.

If you want to come down this way sometime, just let me know.
Cheers

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 ~

At 11:02am on July 19, 2009, Mary Ann Grisham said…: 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.

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

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!

Reserved our bums a nice little seat at the TBEX '10! So excited, plus we've never been to NYC! Though we've lived in and traveled to over 12 countries, geesh we need to get to know our home country better... :)
