Apple iPad running B&B Network App
This device will be a major benefit to the B&B Network in many ways – here’s just a few.
1. The B&B Network App already designed to run on the iPad
2. B&B Network websites are navigable by finger touch
3. For B&B Owners – easy logon to admin panel and email
4. Help travellers communicate directlywith hotels and B&Bs
This kind of device and its sucessors will take a large share of the domestic / low cost computing market and create a new market “Coffee Table Computing”. How long before the iPad will connect to wirelessly to domestic TVs / Media Centres / DVD players and become a remote control for all these things. Having the B&B Network at your finger tips or on the Coffee Table will revolutionise the way people book accommodation.
Pricing of the iPad is aimed clearly at the Netbook market that are basically lowcost laptops running widows.

“The Hotel iPhone App: People want to deal directly with hotels as easily and seamlessly as possible. Sometimes it’s hard to predict when you’ll need a bed for the night, the weather may keep you somewhere, a last minute trip to visit some family or even booking a forgotten anniversary present at short notice. The B&B Network App is something that can be used time and time again and most importantly allows you to contact accommodations directly” – Francis McCaffrey, Business Development Manager of the B&B Network.
