ALAMEDA, Calif., May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Geoworks Corporation (Nasdaq: GWRX - news), a pioneer in mobile data communications services and
technologies, today launched Mobile Site, a complement to Geoworks' current Mobile ASP(TM) solution. Mobile Site allows any business to mobilize its existing
Web content for any mobile device affordably and quickly. With Mobile Site, companies can deploy a mobile service to their customers in approximately one week.
``In the race for customer market share, companies without a comprehensive mobile solution are hard-pressed to maintain their competitive advantage,'' said Rhonda
Jobe, Vice President of Marketing for Geoworks. ``Mobile Site offers businesses an economical way to reach their mobile customers in about a week, before their
competitors have a chance to respond.''
With Mobile Site, Geoworks dynamically pulls data from any company's Web site and programs it in a format suitable for transmission to WAP, HDML, SMS,

For companies that wish to explore a more robust and customizable mobile solution for their customers, Geoworks also offers its full Mobile ASP solution. Mobile
ASP provides companies with the consultation, technology and services necessary to extend their operations, communications and customer service initiatives to the
mobile medium and to achieve enhanced, immediate business-to-consumer communications.
``Customers who require the speed of the Mobile Site solution can easily begin working with Geoworks to develop a mobile solution based on their existing Web
site content,'' added Jobe. ``Once businesses begin to realize a return on their investment in Mobile Site, they can quickly upgrade to Geoworks Mobile ASP
