More News: PowerPrint(R) solution expands printing possibilities of innovative iMac(R) accessory BURNABY, BC, Sept. 16 /CNW/ - Infowave Software Inc. (VSE:IWM) today announced it has signed a development agreement with New Motion International Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of Apple(R) Macintosh(R) and PC computer peripherals. New Motion, established in 1982, has distribution networks across the U.S., Germany, Japan, Australia and China. Under the terms of the agreement, New Motion agreed to package Infowave's award-winning PowerPrint software in-box with New Motion's iDock(TM). The iDock is a six port hub that increases the peripheral compatibility of an iMac. It enables iMac users to connect to a wide variety of peripherals such as printers, scanners and modems with serial and parallel ports that would otherwise be incompatible with the iMac. The inclusion of the award-winning PowerPrint software significantly enhances the capability of the iDock by adding new PC printer driver support. This makes it possible for users to print to over 1,600 PC-compatible laser printers, inkjet printers and specialty printers. ``Our agreement with Infowave enables us to leverage the excellent reputation PowerPrint has within the Macintosh community,' said William L.T. Lu, vice president, sales of New Motion. ``As well as improving the core compatibility of the iDock, we have also gained a powerful new marketing edge with which to promote the device.' The iDock will be marketed and distributed in the U.S. exclusively by CompuCable Corporation through its network of resellers, distributors and superstores and via its website. CompuCable will position the iDock as the flagship of its iPeripheral line of iMac accessories. According to PC Data, approximately 2 million iMacs have been sold since its launch on August 15, 1998, making it the top selling desktop computer in the retail market. ``The rapid growth of the iMac has created a huge demand for innovative Mac products,' said Kevin Jampole, vice president, sales and marketing of Infowave. ``This agreement with New Motion is the latest example of how Infowave is taking advantage of the increasing opportunities in the Macintosh marketplace.'
