 WorldMate Inc., a leading provider of travel services for mobile devices, today
announced WorldMate is now free for Nokia S60 smartphone users. This product represents
the first "Freemium" travel service for S60 devices, providing added value for
consumers and frequent fliers alike.
Los Angeles, CA (July 13, 2007) - Through WorldMate's services, travelers across
the globe can access the superior mobile travel tool at no charge.
The new WorldMate for S60 is a powerful mobile travel application that provides
the most comprehensive collection of sophisticated software features. With the
release of the S60 version, WorldMate provides best-of-class services to assist
the on-the-go traveler. Basic travel services ranging from world clocks through
weather forecasts to currency conversion are provided for free. Only a handful
of specific premium services including comprehensive flight schedules and real-time
flight status require a paid professional subscription.
"WorldMate's proliferation and the richness of our application enable us to take
this important step, making our mobile service closer to Internet offerings,"
said WorldMate CEO Nadav Gur. "Consumers expect basic content services to be free,
and we agree. Beginning with this product we will only charge for our premium
services, that provide significant value to frequent business travelers."
WorldMate's feature set include weather forecasts, world clocks, a currency converter
and a world day / night map. The new S60 WorldMate version also contains the Weathercaster
service, the users' favorite audio / visual tool that pushes weather updates to
the user. Premium services include real-time flight status, flight schedules and
satellite weather imagery, and are available for a subscription fee. Purchasing
a subscription can be easily done on the phone using MobiMate's secure shopping
cart.
