Electric Pocket Announces Grand Opening of New Corporate and Product Web Sites

Users of Palm Powered Handhelds Can Now Demo BugMe! Online

WYE VALLEY, UK (May 25, 2001)...Electric Pocket Limited, a leading developer of application solutions for Palm Powered™ handhelds, announces it has re-launched both of its corporate and product-focused Web sites, ElectricPocket.com and BugMe.net. ElectricPocket.com is geared toward those interested in learning more about the company and its services as a leading developer of custom applications for mobile and wireless computing devices. BugMe.net focuses solely on Electric Pocket’s acclaimed BugMe! and BugMe! Messenger applications, and even offers visitors the opportunity to see how they work through an online demonstration.

ElectricPocket.com provides a wealth of information on the company and its application development services. Electric Pocket offers professional design and development services to customers seeking leading edge mobile and wireless solutions. Electric Pocket’s engineering team specializes in all aspects of Palm OS development, with particular emphasis on communication technologies.

BugMe.net offers information and online ordering of both BugMe! and BugMe! Messenger applications. BugMe! enables users to handwrite notes and sketches directly on the screens of their Palm Powered handhelds. BugMe! Messenger takes the BugMe! concept into the wireless realm by enabling users to send notes, sketches and photographs by email from any Palm Powered handheld equipped with wireless communications services. Using Shockwave technology, visitors to the BugMe.net Web site can now perform an online demonstration of BugMe! and BugMe! Messenger.

"BugMe! is a wonderfully visual product and its ease-of-use and friendly interface were important when we began working on the new designs," said Adrian Mendoza, design principal of Synthesis3, the Boston-based Web developer responsible for building the two Web sites. "We wanted to make sure the Web experience was as interactive as the software itself."

“We are very proud of our redesigned Web sites as they both communicate to our customers the essence of Electric Pocket and the usability of BugMe!,” said Steve Bennett, Electric Pocket’s Chief Executive Officer. “They also give potential customers the ability to see how BugMe! works without having to download the application to their handheld devices.”

Headquartered in the scenic Wye Valley of Wales, UK, the company is spearheaded by a team of experienced technology engineers and visionary experts in mobile and wireless technologies. Electric Pocket offers innovative mobile computing solutions and consultancy services.
