MobiMate today announced an agreement with Sony Ericsson to bundle its WorldMate travel application with the P800 mobile phone.

So I guess the people who already bought it for $20 USD wasted their money... all the new P800 will have this program for free... I wonder if they will allow it as a free download for existing P800 owners who dont have it yet??

CORRECTION:
"P800 customers will be offered a free trial version of WorldMate on a CD bundled with the device. "
so it's just the trial.

Any idea why Worldmate doesn't allow you to check weather for your home city?
Thanks!

Is seems to have forecasts for all larger towns only

Seems totally daft that I can't check the weather forecast for my home town, which is in the list - Exeter, UK. If this is the case it's a stupid program in my opinion and I won't be registering it. I wrote to them yesterday about it but no reply as of yet, but I'm not holding my breath. Cheers!

That's sad!
I have tryed World Mate out and I think it is a nifty program. Great currency converter and it functions great.
I can even check weather in my hometown: Reykjavík, Iceland. But that's the only town here in Iceland.... but it covers more than half of the total Population.
I would prefer to have Akureyri on the list too, it's te second major town here in Iceland.

They could have implemented a country-wide general forecast for the UK by region at least, if you're not on one of their listed cities. I agree the currency and world time are great.
They DID reply as follows:
Dear Mate
If the cloud icon is missing, then it means that this location is currently not supported for weather updates, hopefully it will be supported on the next version.
