More Travel Info via your Cell Phone

Getting travel information on your mobile phone is getting easier and easier these days.

For example, the folks over at Concierge.com (the Condé Nast Traveler website) are now offering 200 of their Destination Guides via mobile phone. So, if you suddenly find yourself in New York with no idea where to stay or eat or what to see, you can just dial into Concierge.com for their New York City Guide.

The free service also includes weather updates and, if you've got some deep pockets, a list of the magazine's Top Hotels of the World.

This is the future of travel, folks! All the information you ever need to know in a small portable device. We're not there yet, but it's coming.
