NEOM is saying?.037x.038.Glad to the one's that held.Weeeeeeeeeee.And more good news.Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Another day for $$$ to be made,for all the true lions.
Foster-Lyons said that when NeoMedia's chief scientist Kevin
Hunter got the Nokia 3650 mobile phone to read a PaperClick code, "I
just couldn't contain my enthusiasm, and set out immediately to
represent PaperClick in the U.K. and Europe because - as I said before
- linking to the Internet from a mobile phone will be bigger than
texting!"
Building Profits Through PaperClick and IP
NeoMedia Chairman Chas Fritz said, "the combination of David's
enthusiasm and the power of PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones should
be unbeatable, extending our reach and profit potential. Our patented
technologies are in demand, and we are aggressively working to sell
licenses and ensure that our shareholders' investment in patents and
other IP is protected and a viable generator of income," he said.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers
LONDON & FORT MYERS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 2003--When
David Foster-Lyons signed an agreement for his company to sell and
license the PaperClick(TM) Internet-linking technology and the
portfolio of Intellectual Properties and patents from NeoMedia
Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NEOM) of the U.S., the London-based
entrepreneur and managing director of Big Gig Strategies simply
couldn't contain his enthusiasm.
The PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones(TM), available first for the
Nokia(R) 3650 camera phone, reads UPC/EAN and other bar codes through
the camera to link the user quickly and directly to corresponding the
Web site or information.
"I've tracked PaperClick for several years, believing all it
needed to be incredibly successful was the right device to unleash its
amazing power," said Foster-Lyons. "Now that device is here - the
mobile/cell picture phone! This happened by chance, much like the
mobile text market in Europe emerged almost overnight to become a $42
billion 'mistake'. I believe PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones will be
bigger than text messaging!"
Direct Link to the Internet
Pioneered and patented by NeoMedia, PaperClick reads and decodes
bar codes to link users to the Internet, providing information and
enabling m-commerce. It employs a standard browser, optional client
software, and a network of online service and applications servers
transparent to the user, who simply takes a picture with the camera
phone and is automatically connected to tailored on-line Web
information.
PaperClick installs via the phone's infrared (IR) port, the
BlueTooth(R) wireless network, or by download using its built-in
browser, requiring only 11.3KB of memory. With software currently
implemented for the Symbian(TM) operating system, it supports UPC-A,
UPC-E, EAN-13, ISBN and PaperClick codes. A previously version of
PaperClick runs on Palm Pilot(R) PDA's.
Used with mobile camera phones, PaperClick enables m-commerce,
letting companies and product/brand managers gain immediate and direct
access to readers/shoppers online.
'Mobile Phone Companies Buying More Lenses Than Camera Companies'
In its agreement with NeoMedia, Big Gig Strategies will sell
PaperClick technology, and licenses for the IP around the technology,
in the U.K. and throughout Europe.
"What great timing!" said Foster-Lyons. "With more than 1.4
billion mobile phones in circulation - with that number growing every
day - mobile companies are buying more lenses than camera companies!
"In Europe, mobile/cellular phone users pay only to make calls,
not receive them, as is the case in the U.S.," reminded Foster-Lyons.
"And in the U.S., during the 'American Idol' TV phenomenon, AT&T
Wireless thought 35,000 text messages in one night was 'good'; in the
U.K., we sent 78 million text messages on Valentine's Day alone... and
we have only 58 million people!"
Foster-Lyons said that when NeoMedia's chief scientist Kevin
Hunter got the Nokia 3650 mobile phone to read a PaperClick code, "I
just couldn't contain my enthusiasm, and set out immediately to
represent PaperClick in the U.K. and Europe because - as I said before
