Interesting news for business travelers who love their mobile devices.  Companies that provide services for travelers are well aware of the availability of mobile opportunities with travelers and they are responding.

Here is a great little piece on the subject:

Here is a snippet from that piece:

One in four people use their mobiles to book (28%) or pay (24%) for their daily commute, a figure double that of 2013.

This is according to new research from BuzzCity revealing the habits of today’s connected traveller. Not yesterday’s though, that traveler just read a book or did a crossword.

Holiday booking habits have also changed noticeably. There has been an increase of 50% in mobile use across business and leisure travellers, with 30% relying purely on their mobiles to make last minute bookings.

In other news Target is eliminating its entire presence in Canada after a very short attempt at the new market.
