TABLETmedia ANNOUNCES MOBILE VIDEOCONFERENCING FOR INTEL PROCESSORS WITH INTEL® WIRELESS MMX™ TECHNOLOGY

San Francisco, Calif. - April 20, 2004 TABLETmedia, Inc. announced today that its iFon™ integrated SIP VoIP, video and messaging communication client for PDAs and Smartphones has been optimized for the new Intel® PXA27x processor with Intelr Wireless MMX™ technology.

Advanced real-time media communications places heavy computational requirements on processors, particularly on mobile devices. To maximize the performance of its communication products, TABLETmedia has worked closely with Intel to support the new Intel PXA27x processor with Intel XScaler technology and the Wireless MMX™ instruction set.

"Thanks to the new Intel processor, we are pleased to announce that our products offer significantly better performance and higher quality. Overall, we are achieving a 60-100% performance boost on compression while also delivering 30 fps video. The new instruction set will also enable us to quickly add in more advanced compression technology and enhance our communication capabilities." said Alessandro Gatti, President and CEO of TABLETmedia, Inc. "This is particularly helpful when supporting lower bandwidth wireless wide-area network users or to increase the number of simultaneous connections in broadband wireless networks. Battery life is also a critical aspect of mobile devices which we are now able to further extend through proprietary algorithms and processor optimizations".

"The optimized solutions from TABLETmedia demonstrate how the new Intelr PXA 27x processor with Intel Wireless MMX technology is ideally suited for quick processing of multiple IP-based communications services" said Gary Forni, Director of Independent Software Vendor Enabling for Intel's Cellular and Handheld Group. "We are very pleased with the performance gains that the Intelr Integrated Performance Primitives have provided to TABLETMedia's application. This combination will help address the needs of customers seeking wireless IP video conferencing on mobile devices. "

Mobile professionals have been asking for an increasingly wider set of features on their mobile devices, well beyond basic voice, messaging and personal information management (PIM). With PDAs and smartphones offering more advanced capabilities, while at the same time new wireless networking technologies providing increasingly higher bandwidth, TABLETmedia expects a natural evolution of mobile devices to deliver to users more effective and efficient communications. With this new level of optimization, iFonT, TABLETmedia's multi-standard integrated voice, video and messaging communication software, is able to exceed market requirements and once again deliver a truly innovative solution.
