Travel Portals Go Mobile: MakeMyTrip-Nokia, Yatra On The Go

– If you caught the Nokia N-Series adverts on TV recently, you might have noticed a tiny MakeMyTrip logo at the bottom during the final frame, below the Nokia N-Series logo. MakeMyTrip launched a mobile application for the Nokia N-Series, which allows users to book flights via GPRS. It’s difficult to get users to download such applications, so they’re probably better off if it comes pre-loaded. However they’re offering a incentive for downloading; details, in a flash heavy page, here. Btw..seen the new viral?

— Yatra too is going mobile with “Yatra.com on the Go!” They’ve launched three products – an SMS booking service via the short code 2622, a WAP site, and a mobile application, which I just downloaded via the WAP site. The company also intends to include hotel bookings, car rentals and bus bookings. More in the release here.

If you ask me, I’d prefer a single application that allows me to search all the online travel sites – not one app for each. Also for my operator to actually activate my GPRS connection, but that’s another story.
