Pumatech introduces Browse-it™ 3.0 software

SAN JOSE, Calif. (6/26/01) ---- Pumatech Inc. (NASDAQ: PUMA), the leading provider of software infrastructure for the mobile Internet, today announced availability of its Browse-it version 3.0 software, a leading-edge Web rendering/browsing solution for Palm OS handhelds. Among its new features, Browse-it 3.0 offers enhanced off-line services such as off-line form submission, which allows Web-based forms (e.g., a company expense form) to be stored on a device and filled out while off-line. This capability will enable users to submit all expense forms wirelessly while on the road, or via cradle synchronization when they return to the office. Additionally, Browse-it 3.0 provides improved layout quality and performance, giving users a richer, faster experience. With this new version of Browse-it, mobile workers will be able to dramatically increase productivity by having the ability to work both on- and off-line, regardless of their location or connection method. Pumatech will demonstrate Browse-it 3.0 in booth #4230 at PC Expo in New York City, June 26-28.

"Our expanded service support with Browse-it further illustrates our goal of enabling all users to access any Web content on- or off-line from their mobile devices," said Brad Rowe, Pumatech president, CEO and co-founder. "We aim to provide the highest quality of Web content to all of our audiences, including corporate users and consumers. In order to provide Web content to the largest number of people, it is important that we extend our offering by providing off-line Web services that meet the needs of the enterprise."

Browse-it is one component of Pumatech's Mobile Application Platform (MAP), the common server platform designed to help ISVs, SIs, and OEMs extend content to the enterprise. Designed for maximum scalability and performance, MAP also includes synchronization capabilities and Pumatech's Mind-it change detection and notification software.

NEW FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF BROWSE-IT 3.0
When connected to a wireline or wireless modem, Browse-it transforms Palm OS handheld devices into powerful information appliances, giving mobile users full and immediate access to information and applications on the Web - anytime, anywhere. Browse-it was designed with the user experience in mind and employs the look and feel of desktop browsers, offering features such as bookmarks, the ability to track browser history, and support for cookies, standard graphic formats, encryption for security, compressed archives, and downloading and installation of native programs and data. Browse-it also provides a SnapShot feature that enables users to capture Web content for viewing off-line when wireless or wireline Web access is unavailable.

Browse-it 3.0 now includes an enhanced feature set that further extends the product's usability in enterprise environments:
