Here’s a great one-stop resource for all you road warriors out there who spend far too much time jetting between cities for work.
WorldMate is a mobile travel application which combines into a singular platform all the online resources one normally accesses while traveling. In this way, travelers no longer have to jump between various websites and online travel tools spread across the web.
Of course, you’ll need a wireless handheld device, such as a BlackBerry, to access this bevy of information. And, you’ll need to pay an annual fee of $60-$75. But once you do, you can access currency rates, global dialing prefixes, recommended packing lists, flight schedules, flight status, weather forecasts, a measurement converter, a clothing converter, local tax & tip info, world clocks, Global Weather Satellite Imagery, and even local phone numbers for hotels and car rentals.
The self-billed “The Swiss Army Knife of Travel” is available on all major mobile platforms.
