MOBILE
Assistant IV Worldwide Launch.
FAIRFAX, Va., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Xybernaut(R) Corporation (Nasdaq:
XYBR), a pioneer and leader in the wearable computer market, has
selected Kanakaris Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KANA), an
innovator in downloadable content delivery, to design its new web site
to support Xybernaut's fourth quarter worldwide launch of its MA IV(TM)
systems. The companies also disclosed that they are in preliminary
discussions regarding a potential strategic alliance.
"What the Sony Walkman did for bringing mobility to the playback of
music, the Xybernaut MA IV will do for bringing mobility to computing.
The launch of Xybernaut's Mobile Assistant IV ("MA IV") is a milestone
event in the history of computing which Kanakaris Communications, Inc.,
the creator of the downloadable content sites NetBooks.com and
3rdM.com, is excited and proud to be a part of," said Alex Kanakaris,
CEO, of Kanakaris Communications.
"The Xybernaut website will become a focal point for the dissemination
of information on wearable computing, and will be designed to interact
with the distributor, developer and user bases for the Xybernaut MA IV
product launch. The Kanakaris Communications, Inc. vision for the
Xybernaut web site and links to related proprietary sites is that it
will evolve into the equivalent of the film for the camera or the
blades for the razor. When a doctor, engineer or student requires
instantaneous access to information for use in a mobile environment via
the Xybernaut Mobile Assistant, they will download it off the Internet
sites we co-develop with Xybernaut," explained Kanakaris. "In a
similar fashion, when that information needs to be updated and shared,
it can be accomplished in a totally seamless, simple manner from
anywhere in the world."
"Xybernaut's relationships with Sony Digital Products for developing
the MA IV, En Pointe for U.S.A. and Canadian marketing, service, and
distribution, Hewlett-Packard for joint marketing and distribution in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and other key strategic
relationships, clearly indicate Xybernaut's selectivity in working with
the worlds' leading companies in designated arenas. We selected
Kanakaris Communications, Inc. to take the Xybernaut web site to the
real-world, field-operational level because of their creative talent
and vision. Kanakaris shares Xybernaut's understanding of the impact
and potential power of electronic content delivery for commercial and
industrial clients," stated Xybernaut Vice Chairman Steven A. Newman.
"While Kanakaris Communications, Inc. implements different phases of
expanding Xybernaut's web site services, we are also looking at a
structure for a strategic alliance which offers break-through
electronic data interchange capabilities for our Xybernaut Partner and
client bases" added Mr. Newman.
