Samsung Galaxy S III Holiday Inn app offers remote hotel Olympic experience - Pocket-lint.com
Forty rooms at the Holiday Inn in Stratford, next to the London 2012 Olympic arena, have been made compatible with a new app available exclusively to Samsung Galaxy S III users.
Once downloaded, the app will enable guests to control their room’s TV, air conditioning and lights through their smartphone. The app will also provide access to an Olympic Newsletter, as well as up to date results, event times and other London 2012 information.
Guests will also be able to use the app to call room service as well as check in and out of their room. Unfortunately the app - which Samsung has partnered with Fingi Inc to produce – will only work with 40 of the Stratford Holiday Inn’s rooms.
In case you’ve somehow missed it, Samsung is one of the leading sponsors of this summer’s London 2012 Olympic games and has been producing Olympic themed apps at a rate of knots usually reserved for the sailing events.
As well as the Samsung Hope Relay app that donates money to charity according to how much exercise you do, the manufacturer also teamed up with operator Three for the Victoria Pendleton Road to Victory app,which gives an insight into the gold medal cyclist’s life in the run up to the Games.
Have you been one of the lucky few to use the Holiday Inn app on your Samsung Galaxy S III? Let us know what your experience was like...

"This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a useful addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds," reads the developer statement on the official forum thread for XDA Developers.
Here is the rundown of the installation steps for ParanoidAndroid [Courtesy: XDA Developers]:
