Name: WorldMate
Description: Travel Itinerary
Summary: If you are traveling, whether it is to work or different or even across the border there’s some information that’s handy to have. This is where WorldMate comes in, WorldMate is Collection of excellent applications all in one place that updates automatically giving you the latest times, weather forecast, directions, flight information and the latest currency rates. All this seems only useful if you are traveling across countries, but my favourite part of this application mite change that. Weather forecasts are great but the only problem is that they can manly be found on newspapers, radio and TV which makes them a bit out of the way, WorldMate brings this straight to your Nokia N96 but instead of showing you the forecast it tells it to you. WorldMate can make these reports twice a day at your chosen time and your chosen days so you could wake up to the nice lady telling you the weather without doing anything.
Overview: Believe it or not this application is free but has limited abilities compared to the gold version, but you would have to be Serious about your business travel to get that because it costs $30 a year. Personally I only have the application for the weather forecast but for anyone that travels a lot this could be your next best friend. Another thing That I noticed is the speed of update which is very smooth and had a very stable connection. Read more
