This item appears on page 76 of the October 2009 issue.
If you use a mobile phone that can access the Internet, there is a Web application that bundles tools for travelers.
KeyToss (www.keytoss.com) includes the Flight Status tool (tracks airline flights), a hotel search and reservation function (using Hotel.com’s database of over 85,000 hotels worldwide), a translation tool (15 languages), a currency rates tool, a single search bar that accesses over 50 search tools (i.e., Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia, etc.), news feed summaries (RSS feeds), weather forecasts and even file transfers (from phone to computer or vice versa).
KeyToss works with Windows Mobile, Blackberry, PalmOS and Symbian systems. There is no software installation required, and the application is free of charge.
