Find1.mobi, the leading Mobile Search portal announce the launch of Hotel1.mobi with free listings of 63,519 Hotels in USA and Canada.
The new domain has been specifically designed for mobile users, with very clear search and display functions, that are easy to use on hand held screens.
It is widely believed that in the next 3 years the numbers of cellphone searches for contact names and addresses related information, such as Hotels, Taxis, Restaurants, Bars, Airports, and Travel Agents, will exceed the same numbers of searches on the internet proper.
Hotel1.mobi is the latest of 30 activity related portals, in development by FIND1.MOBI, to provide easy cellphone searching.
The development of online mobile portals has been steady to date, but the recent announcement by Google of their new Android platform along with other members of the Open Handset Alliance, a group of 34 hardware and software companies plus wireless carriers committed to creating open standards for mobile devices, is likely to accelerate the numbers of specifically mobile designed sites dramatically.
Google's new alliance includes some big names. Samsung, the number three handset-maker, Motorola, the number two,and Sprint, an American wireless operator. The heavyweights Nokia, Vodafone, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, not to mention Apple and Microsoft are likely to join soon.
Google's logic behind the Android platform lies in the numbers of PC users in the world, approx 1.24 Billion compared to 8 Billion cellphones in circulation.
Google is prepared to spend huge sums to make Android a success, since it hopes to pipe ads onto Android phones. This is the latest example of its strategy to make more money in its main business "online advertising"
