TULSA, Okla., Aug 19, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- Heartsoft,
Inc. (OTC BB:HTSF) confirmed today that the company's new secure
Internet browser will offer its young users on-line content and
services from leading web-based information services.
Confirming comments made to media, the company's management
acknowledged that it has been in discussions for several months with
leading publishers regarding co-branding of certain on-line resources
for children.
"Children world-wide will not only enjoy an exciting and entertaining
on-line experience every time they connect to the Internet using our
new browser, they will also have instantaneous access to information
from top children's content providers," stated Heartsoft CEO, Benjamin
Shell.
"Our goal is to produce a product which, simply stated, will become the
standard for parents and educators when affording access to the
Internet for their children. In order to reach this goal, our new
browser must provide the most engaging and interactive environment
on-line for young Internet users."
"Anticipation for the browser's release is mounting among anxious
parents and educators," said Shell. "We have been careful to only
release information about the product's capability and very little
about its actual look and feel for obvious competitive reasons."
"While a ship date for the new browser has been set internally, we will
not announce an actual release date until just prior to the product's
actual introduction. We do promise that the release of our secure
children's browser will be proceeded by a significant Internet-based
marketing campaign which will reveal the product's name and web-site
with glimpses into its interface. If you have access to the Internet,
you will have a hard time missing the pre-release!"
The new browser will be available for both the home and the school and
will operate on both Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows 95/98(R) and
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) iMac(R) and Macintosh(R) platforms. Heartsoft's
much anticipated secure browser offers parents and educators a secure
and safe alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's
(NYSE: AOL) Navigator Internet browsers.
Heartsoft's support of Microsoft Windows 98 significantly expands the
company's ability to support hardware manufacturers such as Dell
Computer Corp. (Nasdaq: DELL), Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE: CPQ), and
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP), which represent the most widely used
platforms in schools and by parents.
