TourSpot has created a city guide application for the iPhone with features like social network integration with Facebook, live and interactive maps, mobile coupons, and live travel content.

TourSpot will launch a BlackBerry application in Q2 2009.
TourSpot is available for New York City, San Francisco, Washington DC, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Chicago, Las Vegas, Boston, St. Louis, Austin, Houston, Nantucket, San Diego, Denver, Atlanta, Montreal, Dallas, and Newport. It will be available for other cities in the U. S., too.
