Also in Malaysia today, City.Mobi is celebrating the success of its new guide to Kuala Lumpur.

City.Mobi offers the most comprehensive mobile travel guides available, with over 800 cities in 200 countries listed. Each is developed by the City.Mobi team to combine into a single global travel directory.
