"We are extremely pleased to work with GoAmerica on this initiative,
which
will offer a whole new class of financial applications to those mobile
professionals who have been challenging the wireless industry to provide
them
with more powerful tools," said Sam Cassetta, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of SmartServ. "This agreement is an important step towards making
seamless, user-friendly wireless financial applications pervasive and
further
validates our strategy to help service providers offer more value to their
clients and create opportunities for additional revenue."
"Financial institutions have been among the first to embrace the power
of
wireless," said Joe Korb, president of GoAmerica. "We are excited to offer
SmartServ's MobileMarkets, allowing professionals to interact not only with
critical corporate information, but also to stay up to date on important
financial news and maintain control of investments when away from the desk."
GoAmerica's offering, slated for release within the first quarter of
2001,
will initially be available on Research in Motion's RIM 857 and 957 Wireless
Handhelds. GoAmerica will provide its security, tier-1 technical support,
wireless connectivity and mobile devices. With its MobileMarkets(TM),
SmartServ allows financial institutions and network service providers,

gainers and losers by volume, price, volatility and percentage change,
market
equity indicators and a pre-defined watch list of more than 20 different
