fusionOne Unveils Mobile Desktop for the Wireless Web

New Service Allows fusionOne Subscribers to Access and Manage Personal Information from any Web-enabled Phone

fusionOne(TM), a pioneer in the development of next-generation Internet sync technology, today announced the public availability of its mobile desktop service, allowing fusionOne subscribers instant access to all their personal information -- email, contacts, calendar, files and bookmarks -- from any web-enabled phone. Powered by fusionOne's revolutionary Internet sync engine, fusionOne's mobile desktop automatically syncs back all activity to the user's collection of computing devices, including PCs, handheld PDAs and web applications.

The fusionOne mobile desktop, which will be syndicated to wireless carriers and portals worldwide, is built on fusionOne's underlying sync and data storage architecture. The fusionOne architecture consists of a store-and-forward model that enables fusionOne to hold an encrypted "digital vault" of all a user's personal information and subsequently provide the technology to deliver it -- in whatever shape it needs to be in -- to all edge devices. With the introduction of fusionOne's mobile desktop service, the company will enable any wireless, web-enabled device to access that digital vault and gain access to all information managed by the fusionOne service.

"To date, wireless data applications have been met with minimal success, because technology providers have focused solely on delivering public and perishable content to the new generation of wireless devices," said Rick Onyon, president and CEO of fusionOne. "With fusionOne's new mobile desktop, we are providing the killer app for the wireless web, access to personal and persistent content --content that matters to the individual every day."

While the fusionOne mobile desktop will eventually be offered as a premium service, for a limited time it is available free to all fusionOne subscribers directly from fusionOne.com or through fusionOne partners. To become a fusionOne subscriber, users simply sign up at www.fusionOne.com and specify the type of data and devices that they would like to keep in sync. By adding fusionOne Mobile to their list of managed devices, users will never be without their data.

With fusionOne's mobile desktop, users can:

    -- Access their latest calendar and contact lists -- While
        "legacy" mobile phones have a limited capacity for phone
        numbers, fusionOne mobile desktop allows users to access and
        directly dial ALL numbers listed in their work or online
        address book. Similarly, calendar appointments for the entire
        year can be browsed.

    --  Forward important files via fax or email directly from the
        phone -- With fusionOne mobile desktop, users can remotely
        access important spreadsheets, documents, presentations and
        more. And, fusionOne allows users to forward these files via
        fax or email directly from the phone.

    --  Receive work email in real-time -- fusionOne mobile desktop
        allows users to access their email directly from their web
        phone. And as mail is read or replied to from the phone, those
        changes are automatically reflected in all other devices.

    About the fusionOne Internet Sync(TM) Service

fusionOne's Internet sync service employs a unique store-and-forward architecture that rapidly synchronizes information across both compatible and traditionally incompatible systems. As information is entered or modified in one device, it is automatically forwarded to a neutral storage space on the Internet to be broadcast to the other devices the moment they connect to the Internet. Recognizing that operating systems and applications vary across devices, fusionOne automatically adapts and instantly translates the information to the appropriate system. When a "transaction" is delivered to a device, the data is automatically converted into the suitable format for that machine. For example, information entered in Outlook on your office PC, is automatically synced with Netscape Communicator on your home PC. With fusionOne, your information is always available and always up-to-date, regardless of location.
