I read today that you can now make bookings at HostelWorld through mobile internet on your iphone. HostelWorld are keen for you to book this way with entry into a prize draw for a $100 iTunes voucher and no booking fees for one year with your first iphone booking.

The mobile ecommerce market is predicted to increase to $90 billion dollars by 2009. However there have been warnings that if it doesn't become easier and more rewarding to use mobile internet that consumers will shun the technology.

Personally I'm not sure about using mobile internet to book travel. I have the feeling it could end up being rather expensive. However I think my biggest problem would be reading the screen and if I had to increase the text size then I'd be scrolling down all the time.

Have you used mobile internet to book travel?
