Keeping Tabs on Travel: TripIt Now Available on the Samsung GALAXY Tab

Live from CES, TripIt is making its debut on the Samsung GALAXY TAB 10.1 and 7.0 Plus. So no matter what kind of hot new tablet you got for the holidays (or perhaps, pre-holiday splurge?) you can easily organize and view trip plans. 

What’s new with Samsung Apps? Itinerary-driven maps and the ability to view multiple layers of travel details - including air, car, hotel and more - all in one place. Here’s more detail:

Trip Details Organized for Flexible Viewing

You can view your itineraries in two layers at all times, which makes it easy to dive into details like confirmation numbers or seat assignments, while maintaining an eye on the full trip schedule. The other option is to view a list of all trips, alongside a single itinerary overview. Also, new with TripIt for Samsung GALAXY Tab devices is the ability to view a list of all trips in landscape or portrait mode.

Enhanced Maps Make it Easy to Navigate Trips Geographically

Now, you can dynamically view and navigate maps, directly from the itinerary. For example, when you select a flight, the airport location will light up on the map, and you can choose to get directions.

We realize you prefer native apps, so we’re excited to add Samsung’s hot new tablets to our growing family of smartphone and tablet apps.

I am probably missing something basic, but where do I download this app from on my GalaxyTab 10.1? I already downloaded the one from Android Market weeks ago, but this version sounds different? I am confused :(

I have Samsung Galaxy old version, can it work on it?

Hi,
I hope that this email finds you well.
I recently came across blog.tripit.com whilst researching the Travel and Vacation sector and would like to discuss the possibility of paying you to display an advertisement on the site.
We have a large customer base of clients prepared to pay to display discrete adverts, contextually matched to the content of the page on high quality sites like yours, and this can be a great way to generate an income without compromising your website.
Please email me back if you would be interested in finding out more and I will send you a follow-up email outlining the opportunity in more detail.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Best wishes.
Sylvester Jalnaiz

I agree, the app in the android market is the old version, not the tablet optimized version. Once its released generally, is there any reason that it would not work on any android tablet?

Wondering if Westjet's new points program can be added sonner rather than later to Point Tracker. Many of us Canadian Tripit users fly Air Canada only if we absoilutely have to.
