SwamiCity has released 8 travel apps to date, covering the metro areas of: New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, San Diego and San Francisco. Major cities coming soon include: Las Vegas, Hawaiian Islands, Dallas, Houston, Seattle, Miami, Philadelphia, New Orleans and others.

With the tremendous growth of iPhones and the new Apple iPad, travel applications are changing the way individuals interact with their environments, from new places to familiar spots down the road.

SwamiCity offers more than a traditional guidebook application by providing real-time travel information, including subway maps, traffic and weather, and flight status information. Area residents can follow local and international news sources through the news channel, and tourists and residents benefit from listings including local farmers markets and industry-specific channels featuring sample sales and eco-friendly businesses.

With SwamiCity users can read restaurant reviews and easily access Twitter to tweet their favorite travel photos in the same app. The combined functionality makes for a perfect travel companion—use the iPhone GPS and interactive maps with street view to quickly find the nearest restaurant, club, pub, or show; then check the subway map, call a cab or view traffic conditions. Users can quickly search for items by location, title, or category, and save any item to a favorite list for easy access later. Or let the Swami decide, and the app will choose from your saved favorites.

The applications can be downloaded for free in iTunes App Store: http://bit.ly/cQGtIk. More information about the latest releases can be found on www.SwamiCity.com.
