Fed up with room service that doesn't answer your calls, or a TV remote squeezing the last bit of juice from its batteries or how about trying to get some useful information from a snotty concierge? Fret no more, the iPhone Hotel has opened for guests... The Apple iPhone has, there can be no doubt, become so much more than just a mobile phone. But then I guess everyone always knew it would. Who could have foreseen the iPhone becoming such an important player in the US Presidential Election for the Barack Obama campaign team, for example? Forget the politics though, what I am interested in are really practical uses for an iPhone which might actually change my life. And now I think I just might have found one, in Malibu. Well, at the Malibu Beach Inn to be precise, the first hotel to provide an iPhone powered stay for every guest. Guests checking into the hotel are asked if they own an iPhone, and if they do not they are loaned one (or at least an iTouch) for the duration of their stay. The reason? So the guest can make full use of the Hotel Evolution application that the Malibu Beach Inn is debuting. This inspiring application pretty much takes care of everything the discerning guest could want, apart from acting as a door key. Just enter you room number and security code, and the iPhone becomes a handheld guest information and services hub.
