New York (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 24, 2009 -- DK Eyewitness Travel and Coolgorilla, a leading developer of travel-related Apps for mobile devices, have teamed up to create "Top 10 Apps" using full content from the publisher's bestselling Eyewitness Top 10 guides. Travelers around the globe have come to rely on DK's Top 10 travel guides to provide pithy text alongside rich visuals: now available in a digital format, these easy-to-navigate Top 10 Apps are available from the iTunes App Store for iPhones and iPod touch users.
The Apps--10 in all, including: New York City, London, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Paris, Rome, Dubai, Barcelona, Cancun and Bangkok--give users instant access to all of the top sights, restaurants and bars, shops, museums, and many places to see and things to do for each destination. Each is complete with DK's signature maps that provide clear, bird's-eye views that travelers want and need. App users with online access will also be able to create "Favorites" within each destination guide as well as access a live, real-time currency converter.
For a limited time, the Top 10 Travel Guides for iPhone and iPod touch will be available for $4.99 at the Apple App Store. On July 6th, the Apps will go back to the regular retail price of $7.99. Tom Hall, Head of Digital Licensing for DK Publishing, said: "DK's Top 10 guides for iPhone and iPod touch users are the perfect blend of content and format for travelers who want to know the best things to do, when to do them, and how to get there. These new apps provide a user-friendly, streamlined route into our trusted content, and include color images that provide helpful visual cues, especially in places where you don't speak the language."
Roy Forsdick, Managing Director of Coolgorilla noted: "Mobile phones are, for many people, the number one essential travel item and we're confident the DK Top 10 apps will help iPhone and iPod touch travelers enjoy their hard-earned vacations to the absolute max."
