MobiMonster, a company based in New Delhi, India, has released an all-in-one mobile solution aimed to please the majority of mobile users. The application, called MobiMonster, gives phone owners access to various services ranging from weather forecasts and currency conversion to wireless backup and file sharing.

Available for Symbian S60 3rd edition phones and Windows Mobile 5.0 or later devices, MobiMonster comes with three price plans: Free, Basic, and Professional.

The Free edition mainly targets travelers and includes services such as worldwide weather forecasts, currency converter, and reservations for planes, cars and hotels. The first two services are self-explanatory. The last feature can be used to find out availability and prices, and make instant reservations to all major airline, hotel and car reservation companies. The Free edition of the application is ad-supported, meaning that location-based advertisements will be delivered to users' handsets.

For $60/year, the Basic plan allows phone owners to get rid of the advertisements and gain access to even more travel-oriented services such as flight schedules, delays, gate numbers as well as text translation between any pair of the following languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, Greek and Dutch. Also included in this price plan is a secure vault where users can store credit card and banking details, along with other sensitive information – they can also create a custom list for specific needs.

And last, for $90/year, users get to back up and restore their contacts, calendar entries and SMSs wirelessly, to secure online servers. Furthermore, they have 100 MB of online storage at their disposal, where they can upload photos, videos and other files, as well as access them from anywhere or share them with friends.

The Free version of MobiMonster, which includes a 5-day trial to all the features can be downloaded here. For the time being, only the Symbian S60 3rd edition version is available.
