WorldMate Continues Market Leadership with Record 2007 Customer Sign-Ups and Milestone Year



    WorldMate, Inc., the leading provider of mobile travel services
    for the road warrior and frequent flier, announced today a record year
    in 2007 in terms of growth, product announcements, corporate
    partnerships, customer sign-ups and renewals.

    In September, the company launched WorldMate Live, the first
    mobile travel service to feature fully-interactive ´push´ alerts for
    flight cancellations, delays and other important travel events. Within
    the first four months, WorldMate Live attracted more than 100,000
    members spanning 153 countries, with the US, Canada and United Kingdom
    as the top three.

    In 2007, WorldMate announced its switch to the Freemium business
    model across all smartphone platforms, including Nokia S60, Windows
    Mobile and Symbian UIQ. The Freemium business model provides customers
    with a variety of services for free and offers additional premium
    services for a monthly or yearly charge. This transition helped to
    drive over 700,000 new sign ups for the year and achieve a growth rate
    of over 100,000 new users per month, setting WorldMate as the leading
    mobile travel service worldwide.

    WorldMate also closed 2007 with an unprecedented number
    distribution deals with several leading device manufacturers including
    Motorola and RIM(TM). Carrier business was further bolstered with
    distribution through AT&T Wireless and Vodafone, bringing the
    WorldMate service to frequent fliers across the globe.

    "Travel is extending from the web to mobile," said Nadav Gur, CEO
    of WorldMate. "2007 was a significant milestone year for WorldMate,
    helping to solidify our position as the leading provider of mobile
    travel services. We are excited about our recent achievements and look
    forward to continued success in 2008."
