I've frequently discussed here and elsewhere that in order for .mobi to excel then its websites must set the highest standard, and in that spirit I'm excited to announce the launch of Lodging.mobi, the world's first hotel availability search and reservation website for mobile web.
This project launch is the culmination of an idea I began pursuing over two years ago, with almost a year of intense development spearheaded by my good friend and business partner, arguably one of the best and brightest mobile developers today, the founder of Pilot.mobi.
Lodging.mobi has access to over 75,000 hotels in cities across the globe. Simply enter the destination city along with your basic travel details and our system will find for you those hotels with availability in that city and then you can reserve the room of your liking using your credit card. Such a simple concept that we take for granted on our PC's that has been sorely missing for mobile web users...until now.
When I say this is for mobile users I mean it. A Ready.mobi score of at least 4 is a given, but it doesn't end there. If you are visiting via your PC or a newer smart phone you are unaware that this site uses dotMobi's Device Atlas technology to deliver content customized for 6 different display sizes starting at the very tiny width of 128 pixels and moving up from there. Also, Lodging.mobi is built to be completely functional without the use of client side scripting like Javascript, enabling compatibility with as wide a spectrum of mobile devices as possible. Basically, as long as your phone is able to make a secure connection via SSL, you can use this website to it's fullest.
This launch is just the beginning, we've got a lot of improvements coming like star ratings and reviews and so much more. But rather than wait until everything was ready, we felt it would be useful for the mobile web users of the world to have access to this game changing tool today.
