Stay Connected:
· Bump: Bump is the perfect on-the-go app for any holiday traveler, allowing you to share contact information, photos, music and apps with other iPhone and Android users (video here). It’s convenient for sharing those picture-perfect holiday moments with one another, as well as re-connecting with hometown friends and newly acquainted travel pals by sharing contact information and linking to Facebook, LinkedIn and/or Twitter.
· Facebook: Flight delayed? Your uncle’s story not as interesting as he thinks? No problem. Keep up with what your friends are doing when they head home for the holidays and make sure to keep them updated as well. Post status updates, look at your friends’ embarrassing family holiday photos, and check-in at the airport too (LAX was just named Facebook’s most ‘social’ airport based on the number of check-ins)!
· Path: Stay connected with close friends and family with the smart journal that helps you share life with the ones you love. Path for iPhone and Android lets you share intimate moments (photos, videos) with those closest to your heart, by allowing you to tag photos as your “path” through life.
Stay Healthy:
· ZocDoc: ZocDoc’s mobile app (available for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry) helps you find a doctor that takes your insurance, see that doctor’s availability, read other patients’ reviews, and instantly book an appointment – which comes in especially handy if you’re on-the-go and need an emergency appointment in a city far from home when you’re traveling for the holidays. Impressively, 40% of appointments on ZocDoc take place within 24 hours.
Stay Entertained:

Just in time for the holiday season, Kindle has 4 all-new devices: the new Kindle for $79, Kindle Touch for $99, Kindle Touch 3G for $149, or Amazon’s all-new best-selling Kindle, the Kindle Fire, at only $199 with over 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, magazines and books available.
· Zynga’s Words with Friends: Zynga’s Words with Friends is a wildly popular word game that can be played on your mobile phone, no matter where you are. Perfect for airports, hotels, long car rides, and more, Words with Friends is a great way to stay both entertained and connected to your friends while you’re on the road. Just make sure to power your phone down before takeoff, unless you want flight attendants to give you the Alec Baldwin treatment.
