June 26th, 2007 — Spb Software House, the leading Windows Mobile software developer, releases Spb Traveler, a must have tool set for travelers. Nowadays mobile devices are powerful minicomputers that assist users in many ways. Traveling is definitely a field where a user can get maximum of his Windows Mobile device powered with proper software. A traveler will always have to face things like local time estimation, weather forecasts, currency, unit and clothing size conversion, city guides, planning of international calls and meetings, multi-connection trans-continental flights.

Spb Traveler provides users with an all-in-one solution — a universal travel tool set:

• World time
• Weather forecast
• Currency converter
• Unit converter
• Clothing sizes
• Tip calculator
• Flight assistant
• Meeting planner
• Geo Game

World Time
Frankly speaking there is no logic in world time. Time zone concept is one of the most complicated things you will have to face when traveling. Most time zones have a fixed hour time lag, but there are also time zones with a 30 or even 15 minute time lag! A city A, which is located several hundred miles to the east from city B, may have local time, which is two hours... less than that in city B! It's quite easy to get confused. With Spb Traveler you will know exact time in more than 10 000 cities over the world. Spb Traveler also offers tools for seamless international meeting and call planning.

Weather Forecast
No guidebook will ever tell you what the weather will be like tomorrow in a city you go to. Sometimes weather is the main if not the only reason we go to or from some place. Spb Traveler downloads and shows detailed weather forecasts for any city you choose. With automatic forecast updates you will always be aware of the most up-to-date weather forecast. And the full 5 day forecast will take less than 1 KB of your internet traffic!

Currency & Unit Converters
What is hotter: 30°C or 90°F? Is 500 Swedish Kronor too expensive for a dinner or not? People in different countries use different units and currencies and tools like unit and currency converters are a must have for any traveler. Spb Traveler can update currency rates automatically from the trusted sources.

Clothing Sizes
With a big number of different clothing types and size systems a good clothing size converter will be an essential overseas shopping companion. A unique feature of Spb Traveler is not only a capability to use conversion tables but also to manage clothing profiles for your relatives and friends.

Flight Assistant
This assistant is designed to help international travelers and especially those who take many connection flights. It's possible to save the created trip schedule in a separate file and share it with colleagues and family if needed.
