Need good travel apps.

I am planning a road trip along the Atlantic Coast up to New York and then back along the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Was wondering if you all could suggest some good travel apps for finding cheap hotels, famous attractions along the way, etc. Much appreciated?

Also if you have any fun apps, that would be great too. Like I am going to use Google Maps Editor to plot our points of interest, and then later add photos of the stops we made. FUN FUN!

Worldmate is a great app for organizing your itenerary. I personally wouldn't plan a trip using just my phone. I want a computer with a larger screen that I can browse all kinds of travel review sites. You could look at something like Yelp though.

Kayak for hotels.

TripIt. Works great and worth paying a small yearly fee for the advanced version.

Don't miss either Layar or Wikitude.
You can find whatever you want.
Just type what you are searching, and look at your screen with your camera on.
Seems like you have an X-Ray-telescopic vision showing you restaurants, hotels, whatever.
