Clinton Fitch Reviews WorldMate 2006
January 21st, 2007 Jason Dunn
“I travel. A lot. Mind you I don’t travel as much as some but in 2006 I pushed well past the 100,000 mile (160,930km) mark with American Airlines and Northwest Airlines. Traveling for me, like so many of you who visit Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! is simply “a part of the job”. And while I do not mind traveling, especially internationally, it can be a daunting task to keep up with flight schedules, weather forecasts, currency conversions and the like while still remaining mobile. Most travel related applications for Windows Mobile devices are designed to cover one or two aspects of travel but very few have a complete list of what many “professional” travelers need. One of these applications, and perhaps the leading application in the field, is MobiMate’s WorldMate. The 2006 Professional Edition of WorldMate is chock full of applications that every traveler needs: Flight schedules, weather forecasts, measurement conversion calculator, currency calculator, trip planner and more. It is the most comprehensive application of its type that I have reviewed and after using it the last two months of 2006, I can say it will not be coming off of my O2 XDA Atom any time soon. The package that makes up WorldMate 2006 is both the application and the online subscription service that comes with the software. The online service allows you to update content free-of-charge (data access charges from your provider may apply) at any time. This means that weather forecasts, flight schedules, currency conversion rates and other content can be updated anytime, assuring you of having the most up-to-date information. If you travel regularly and need to have current travel and local information, WorldMate 2006 Professional should be an application to consider.”
If travelling is part of your work or personal routine, an application such as WorldMate 2006 can greatly enhance the travel experience. Clinton has written a detailed review that covers many aspects of this rich program - check it out!
