eConnect and Pilot Island Establish Unique PalmPilot Licensing Arrangement to Use PALM VII Platform in a First-Ever Wireless Internet Terminal Link to PalmPilot

    Will Use PalmPilot(TM) Proxy Servers to Receive Incoming PocketPay(TM) Internet Credit/Debit Transactions

    Pilot Island Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of International Digital Holding (OTCBB:IDIG), and its PocketPay Joint Venture partner, eConnect (OTCBB:ECNC), have structured a licensing arrangement with PalmPilot to enable first-ever wireless hand-held Internet terminal transactions.

    The PocketPay, which will be a hand-held combination Palm VII, phone and bank card Internet terminal, will send encrypted ATM card with PIN or credit card data to the Palm VII proxy server center, which in turn will then send on the data to the eConnect/RGTecq Linux Transaction server, which in turn will pass on the transaction to the eConnect Host systems for bank card authorization.

    Initial services will be eConnect2Trade, whereby a mobile consumer will be able to open an Instant Cash Trading Account with an ATM card with PIN Internet cash payment originating from the PocketPay.

    PocketPay prototype testing will commence in the third quarter of this year. Profits are generated through merchant transaction fees, and business-to-business applications are substantial. Explosive growth and rapid acceptance of the Palm series of hand-held computers bodes well for innovators exploiting this new technology.

    Globally placed eConnect Host centers, beginning with the United States, Hong Kong, Austrialia, Ireland and the Dominican Republic, will drive the PocketPay transactions
