Sometimes app vendors do make grand claims about the capabilites of their apps – and variously we find out the reality when we download them and try them out. And so it comes to be that another entrant in to the multi-functional app comes to pass, and they are called MobiMonster – check out the info below and if you fancy a look at their site, you can reach it by clicking here.
MobiMonster UI on various devices
MobiMonster has released a Mobile Application that is able to provide Free Weather, Currency, Worldwide Air, Hotel and Car reservations from your mobile device. Just another mobile application? Think again.
This application is capable of querying flight delays and schedules right from the airports and airlines, Backup your phone, translate in several languages, store all your secure data (encrypted), Share your photos, video and provide access to files from anywhere and more.
The application runs on Symbian Series 60 3rd edition and Windows Mobile 5.0 and above devices, which is about 80% of the world’s smart phone market share. The application runs well, but does require GPRS to be operational. You are also required to register the application, which according to MobiMonster, is required to beam you discount coupons and location based advertisements. The advertisements are not intrusive instead they are only available to you when you are using the MobiMonster application.
The application aims to be a mass market software as it provides free and paid services. With services that aim to appease the home and business user it would be interesting to see how this application is adopted. The application is easy to install and quick to get up and running. Certain services, such as Photo, Video and File sharing require full GPRS, for which the user has to call up my network provider. Taking a backup of your phone to stored data on the MobiMonster servers. It is responsive and reflects the data within a few seconds. Edit contacts and restore them back to your phone at any time.
Overall, the application is likeable and has swanky interfaces with a good combination of service on the mobile and Internet.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
