WorldMate hits a million, WorldMate Live coming

[slitchfield]

WorldMate has announced that they now have over a million S60 users of their free (and optionally paid for) service. I've included the brief press release below, also partly because the company promises that the next generation of their software, WorldMate Live, is 'currently in development'. The 'Live' version incorporates social elements such as itinerary sharing and contact discovery via overlapping travel plans.

Im not suprised, the free version has some brilliant features, and is an extremely well built app.

Sorry, I still don't trust it. When I tried it, it was 'phoning home' to the tune of a few kB each day, despite having it set not to. At the time, T-Mobile were talking about a data flat rate, even if you just used a few Bytes (they abandoned that in the end), so I uninstalled it and never put it back on.

I was going to buy the current version for my E71 today - should i wait for the new version or will there be a free upgrade.

I know that now it works realy well and when there is a new version they let me know.
Any way it is free.....

Also check out the TripChill travel service, it runs on the mobile browser and contacts you via email or text messaging.

@neilhoskins. I agree - it 'phones home' when configured not to. Cannot be trusted, hence uninstalled.
