Review: World Traveler by Psiloc

traveler01

World Traveler by Psiloc is a recently launched traveling application that aims to ” make business traveler’s life easier”. This is another hot space that we are seeing many application developers are trying to tap into and it all makes sense because while traveling many frequent travelers rely on their smart phones for flight info, weather and other data.

Installation:

The World Traveler comes pre-installed on Nokia N97 but other symbian s60 device owners can install this Free application directly from the Ovi store or from Psiloc’s web portal. The installation file is around 1.2 MB and it was very easy to download and install it via Wi-Fi connection.
