MobiMate, the leading provider of travel services for mobile devices, announced today that WorldMate(R), the award-winning business-travel service, now supports Windows Mobile-based Smartphones.
In alignment with MobiMate’s strategic goal of remaining at the top of the mobile business and travel application category across all platforms, it has chosen to add support for this platform. “Microsoft’s Windows Mobile will unquestionably play a major role in this new age of mobile commerce,” said MobiMate CEO Nadav Gur. “Over the last 12 months we are witnessing increasing demand from wireless operators as well as Windows Mobile end-users, which we cannot ignore.”
WorldMate is an all-in-one package for the frequent business traveler, featuring essential services including world time, global weather forecasts (provided by The Weather Channel — weather.com), real-time flight status updates (provided by OAG WorldWide), currency and measurement converters and more. The Windows Mobile Smartphone version is the first to include high resolution, active weather maps including satellite and radar imagery, current temperatures, precipitation forecasts and more.
Along with Smartphone, MobiMate’s comprehensive platform offering includes Desktop, Palm OS, Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC, Symbian UIQ, Nokia Series 80 and 60, Blackberry and Java phones.
MobiMate’s new Web site, released just a couple of days ago, will include a top spot for the Smartphone product.
