We’ve already covered MobiMate’s popular WorldMate application in the past. Now we’re glad to report that it has been optimized to work on the latest Symbian S60 5th edition devices like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the upcoming Nokia N97.
As you’re probably already aware, WorldMate is an essential app for anyone who travels frequently. It provides users with such tools as world clock, currency converter, weather forecast, as well as detailed flight information (premium feature).
I haven’t tried out the WorldMate on the Nokia 5800, as I don’t have a single unit at hand. However, SymbianFreak had a chance to play with it and reported back that the new WorldMate rocks. He says it’s “by far the best looking application” that he has ever tested on his Tube. This, according to him, is due user interface improvements, which make the application even easier to use (when compared to older versions). The problem, however, is the lack of support for landscape mode, although I wouldn’t call that an issue…
And that’s about all we can say about WorldMate. If you’re travelling often and have the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, it’s a must have. Here’s a link to WorldMate’s website from where you can download the app.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
