Skift Take
The travel inspiration with social integration field is quite crowded and without content to distinguish iTravel from the others, the only thing the company may have going for it is an enviable name.

Germany-based iTravel, first founded in 2004 but just 20 months into its newfound mobile take on leisure travel, is one of 15 companies showing off applications and competing for best in show in today’s Innovation Competition at VentureBeat’s MobileBeat 2012 conference in San Francisco, Calif.
