WorldMate, Inc., the leading provider of mobile travel services
for business people on-the-go, announced today several upgrades to
WorldMate Live. The www.worldmatelive.com site has been optimized for
the Apple(R) Safari(TM) browser so that Mac(R) users have full access
to online travel planning and itinerary sharing. In addition,
WorldMate Live can now read travel confirmation emails received in
Lotus Notes, Yahoo! Mail, Windows Live Mail, among others. This makes
it possible for road warriors at businesses of any size to manage
their complete itineraries by forwarding the booking confirmations
directly from their email service of choice.
All PC and Mac WorldMate Live members can forward booking
confirmations from over one hundred sources to
export@worldmatelive.com, creating a complete itinerary without
hand-entering the tedious details. Once the emails are forwarded, the
system automatically builds the comprehensive itinerary and then
"pushes" it to the member´s BlackBerry device and WorldMate Live web
account. Travel agents can also send booking confirmation emails
direct to WorldMate Live, making the process completely hands-free for
their clients.
"Many WorldMate Live members have requested support for the Mac
operating system," said Nadav Gur, CEO of WorldMate. "With this new
release, we´re happy to fulfill their requests, as well as meet the
needs of corporations who rely on Lotus Notes or simply cannot deploy
our Outlook add-in. We´re excited to continue our market leadership
and provide our members with the best mobile travel experience
possible."
WorldMate Live is offered as a ´Freemium´ service, with most
components accessible (or available) for free. Premium services,
including flight alerts, flight status and schedules, travel directory
and priority customer support are available for $9.95 per month or
$99.95 per year. For more information, please visit
www.worldmatelive.com.
WorldMate Live will be showcased at the CTIA Wireless conference
at RIM´s booth #425 - Central Hall C1/C2 and Microsoft´s booth #1515 -
Central Hall C3.
The upgrade is free to all existing and new members.
