DANA POINT, Calif., March 31, 2009 — iLoveInns.com
(http://www.iloveinns.com), the leading publisher of bed &
breakfast and country inns information, today announced the
release of a new version of InnTouch for iPhone and iPod
touch users. The application now allows users to quickly
find more than 6,000 carefully selected inns and small
hotels in the United States and Canada.

InnTouch gives access to America’s top award-winning inns
and one-of-a-kind bed & breakfasts on the iPhone or iPod
touch. InnTouch is powered by iLoveInns.com, a leading
Website for bed & breakfast information and booking.

In February, Apple chose the InnTouch application as a
“Staff Favorite” from among their more than 15,000
applications on the App Store.

Other upgrades made to the original InnTouch app include
access to customer reviews, inn videos and a variety of
interface enhancements, making the overall experience for
users more enjoyable.
Top features of the mobile guide include descriptions and
detailed information on B&Bs and boutique inns in nearly
3,000 cities, 20,000 photos, the ability to locate inns near
your current location, and push-to-call capability that
allows users to immediately reach the inn for questions or
to make reservations. Users can see the inn’s address on a
map, get directions, save the address in their contact list
and e-mail or visit the inn’s Website with single-click
actions. InnTouch includes a cookbook with 1,200 recipes of
innkeepers’ favorite dishes served at B&Bs and country inns
nationwide.

“IPhone InnTouch is a superb tool for business travelers who
can find a B&B within a few miles of their location,” stated
Chris Monahan, chief technology officer at iLoveInns.com.
“One couple we heard about was stranded in a snow storm and
discovered an inn less than a mile away from their location.
They were able to get a room before nightfall because of the
InnTouch application.”

InnTouch is an application available on the iPhone App
Store. Apple, the Apple logo, iPod and iPhone are trademarks
