ALAMEDA, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Geoworks Corporation (Nasdaq: GWRX - news), a pioneer in wireless data
communications services and technologies, today launched Mobile ASP, Geoworks' mobile communications solution for
enterprise clients. Mobile ASP (Application Service Provider) is designed to provide companies with the 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.
``With Mobile ASP, Geoworks is scaling its patented server technology and mobile media expertise to make it easier for a wide
variety of companies to meet the needs of their mobile customers,' said Dave Grannan, CEO and President of Geoworks. ``Our
Mobile ASP solution also enables any company to quickly, easily and cost-effectively reap the benefits of a mobile
communications solution from an established expert in wireless technology.'
Geoworks will offer Mobile ASP to a wide variety of businesses, from financial and credit institutions to airlines and rental car
agencies. With Mobile ASP, these companies will be able to leverage the time-sensitive and personal nature of the mobile
medium to provide relevant communications and services to their customers. By extending customer service and other
enterprise applications to the mobile medium, Geoworks' Mobile ASP clients will increase revenue, reduce costs and increase

don't know how -- and would like to employ for their own corporate use or to sell to other users.'
