With this new found technology we now have at our disposal, I've decided to try to utilise my tablet when I'm on a trip next month.

A couple of apps I've found useful so far are;

currency converter.
walking tour (of specific city/place).
language app (translates and speaks the local language).


just wondering if anyone has any other recommendations that they've found useful when travelling (or even in korea)?

cheers

Agoda - lots of hotel deals to be had.

Tripadvisor - good advice on where to go and where not go.

Yahoo! Weather

Depending on where your trip is i'd be weary about whipping your tablet out in public. My friend had his ripped out of his hands in Bangkok whilst using a walking tours app.

i often use the oanda currency converter app. simple clean interface that not only is easily understandable for you, but also for a confused tuk tuk driver in the netherparts of some random country.

There's plenty of local apps for Korea - Jihachul is one of the best for subway maps around Korea.

Seoul Travel Mate - not the prettiest to look at, but works fast.

A few others good for traveling around Korea over at http://www.chrisinsouthkorea.com/2012/03/korea-travel-apps-march-2012/
