WorldMate Live Announces Service Upgrade to Support On-the-Go Travelers



    WorldMate, Inc., the leading provider of mobile travel services
    for the road warrior and frequent flier, announced several upgrades of
    its WorldMate Live service, the award-winning travel tool for
    BlackBerry(R) smartphones. The WorldMate Live service caters to
    jet-setters, managing their complete itineraries, including travel
    arrangements and business meetings, ensuring trips are as smooth as
    possible by pushing real-time notifications of events which impact
    their schedules.

    The recent upgrade enables travelers to change their itineraries
    directly on their devices, adding or updating meetings, flights and
    hotels. In addition, WorldMate Live members can now verify that all
    the addresses in their itineraries are correct and view them on a map.
    The list of supported travel providers tops 100 including Amadeus,
    American Express, BCD, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Expedia, Orbitz,
    Travelocity and most major airlines, hotel chains and car rental
    agencies.

    Another new feature empowers travel providers to update their
    client´s itineraries directly on their devices in WorldMate Live,
    over-the-air by forwarding confirmation emails to the WorldMate Live
    system. This keeps travelers´ itineraries in sync with bookings made
    by agents, even while they are on the move. In addition, the WorldMate
    Live Outlook add-in has been upgraded to support Microsoft Outlook
    2007.

    "This new revision honors the requests made by our first
    generation of WorldMate Live members," said Nadav Gur, CEO of
    WorldMate. "Since their itineraries change frequently even after
    they´ve embarked on the trip, we have freed the user from being
    dependent on Outlook and allow real-time updates for itineraries, even
    while travelers are on the road and away from their PCs."

    WorldMate Live is offered as a ´Freemium´ service, with most
    components and services provided to end users for free. Premium
    services, including flight alerts, flight status and schedules, travel
    directory and customer support are, available via subscription at
    $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year. For more information, please visit
    www.worldmatelive.com.

    WorldMate will showcase its products and services at Mobile World
    Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 11-14, 2008 at the RIM booth
    #8B56, Hall 8. To schedule an appointment, please contact Itay Gadot
