Want to find a restaurant or hotel in Norman with a few clicks on your phone?
Check out the new mobile Web site of the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau, geared for all those iPhones and Blackberrys out there.
Find it at www.visitnorman.mobi.
The new site looks a lot like the NCVB's regular site at www.visitnorman.com.
"It does different things on different phones," said NCVB marketing director Jana Jo Ivy.
Click on one of the seven pages like "Dine in Norman" and you'll find a listing of Norman's restaurants. Click on the restaurant's phone number and the phone should automatically dial the restaurant.The same thing goes for hotels with "Rest in Norman."
"Play in Norman" details many of Norman's attractions, ranging from the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History or Riverwind Casino to the Little River Zoo. And another page brings up the full Norman CVB site.
It will also help you get there. "Getting Around Norman" is an interactive Google map that provides driving directions.
Ivy said the site will evolve with the technology that's out there.
