Handmark Debuts ZAGAT TO GO v5.0 for Windows Mobile, Palm, BlackBerry
U.S. and International Top Hotels, Resorts and Spa Guides Now Available

Handmark, creator of the award-winning Pocket Express mobile Internet experience, and Zagat Survey, the world's leading provider of consumer survey-based dining, travel and leisure information, today announced the availability of the new ZAGAT TO GO v5.0.  Enhancements include the addition of the Top Hotels, Resorts and Spa guide listings and the America's Top Golf Courses guide, as well as updates to the most comprehensive restaurant listings available for smartphones. With automated wireless content and rating updates, detailed street-level maps, and turn-by-turn driving directions, frequent travelers can now choose and find hotels, spas and golf courses from the convenience of their mobile devices. 

The U.S. and International Top Hotels, Resorts & Spa guides cover the world's best lodgings, as reviewed by nearly 22,000 avid travelers and travel professionals who stayed at hotels an average of 36 nights per year. America's Top Golf Courses guide rates the most popular golf courses in the United States based on the opinions of nearly 6,000 devoted golfers. These three new mobile guides add even more "in the know" recommendations of top destinations worldwide to the ZAGAT TO GO survey rankings for over 25,000 restaurants and nightspots in 70+ cities.

"ZAGAT TO GO v5.0 will help travelers find hotels, restaurants, golf courses and other entertainment destinations - along with qualified recommendations - while on the move,"

said Tim Zagat, co-founder of Zagat Survey. "Together, Zagat Survey and Handmark, continue to provide frequent travelers and mobile professionals with the latest reviews for business and leisure travel planning on the world's leading smartphones and mobile devices." 

New content and services from ZAGAT TO GO can be easily exchanged between consumers nearly instantly through Handmark's SHARE technology.  With one click, ZAGAT TO GO users send an SMS text message that lets the recipient download and try ZAGAT TO GO on their own device.

"Today's consumers rely more than ever on their mobile phones for restaurant and hotel information. Handmark is proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Zagat to provide the latest survey findings on the Treo, BlackBerry, motorola Q and other Windows Mobile handhelds," said Douglas Edwards, Handmark co-founder and executive vice president.  "Sharing Zagat Survey's recommendations with mobile consumers has never been easier through our one-click SHARE technology." 

Additional improvements include access to all of the latest 2007 Zagat guides including America's Top Restaurants, New York City Restaurants, San Francisco Restaurants and Los Angeles Restaurants as well as ongoing monthly content updates. Also, for those who are traveling abroad, the new International Dialing Support feature ensures one-click calling to restaurants and hotels from ZAGAT TO GO no matter where you are.
