Few if any songs make it onto the pop, R&B, and country charts simultaneously. Yet that is essentially what MobiMate recently achieved with Handango's bestseller lists for its WorldMate travel application and service.

WorldMate is sort of the Swiss Army Knife of mobile travel software. It delivers time, weather, currency conversion, graphical day/night maps for countries and cities around the world, and flight schedules, among other features.

Handango asserts WorldMate is the first application to be a bestseller for all of the mobile software retailer's supported platforms at the same time. Not only that, it achieved this distinction across multiple categories.

So WorldMate landed in the top ten for Handango's Travel, Business & Professional, and Personal Productivity categories for the Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian UIQ, Symbian Series 60, Blackberry, Nokia Series 80 Communicators, and J2ME environments.

According to Handango, it once considered an application achieving top honors across the bestseller lists of all mobile platforms impossible.

As the company's PR manager Ashley Walker says, "This is an outstanding achievement and we congratulate MobiMate for creating a product and service that users can't seem to live without."
