Getting hip-tronic by Claudia Sonea

Nowadays the Internet rules over communities all over the world, from social networks to services' sites. You can do most of your work by tapping the buttons of the computer, searching for scholarships, work, buying products, finding jobs, booking to theatre or cinema or a concert. Also the thing that most interest people is how they get to different places and that is why they want to have a way of checking flights between cities, countries, or to book a train/bus ticket. Furthermore, there are now means of getting the desired information directly from the mobile phone. American Airlines announced on Thursday that it has upgraded its mobile Web site in order to offer customers the possibility to check in for flights and look at itineraries on their Web-enabled cell phones. Later on, the service will be expanded giving the customers the opportunity to book flights, change reservations and request upgrades from a Web-enabled device. It is expected for the service to become available in spring. The Web site of American Airlines recognizes users of mobile devices and directs them to a mobile version of AA.com, according to their official statement. The content will be more condensed than it usually is on a regular site for users of desktop or notebook computers, but in exchange it will facilitate navigation from a mobile device. An innovation in the world of cell phones and their use in everyday life, this service sound appealing and I'm looking forward to use it, as well as many others. Enjoy!
