New Orleans, LA. (September 21, 1999) - Motorola, Inc. and FlashPoint Technology Inc., a leader in the
standardization of digital appliances, are demonstrating a new platform for sending and receiving digital
pictures over the Internet using Digita™-enabled cameras and Motorola iDEN® integrated digital wireless
phones at the Personal Communications Showcase (PCS ‘99) in New Orleans (Motorola booth #2822,
Hall C). This showcase evaluation illustrates a powerful wireless imaging infrastructure, that can help enable
users to share digital photographs instantly.
With an IP (Internet Protocol)-enabled plus series iDEN handset, such as the Motorola i1000plus™
connected to a Digita-enabled camera, photographers and in-the-field professionals, such as insurance
adjusters, journalists, real estate agents and construction managers, will be able to capture, send and
receive images wirelessly. By extending the reach of the Internet, users will be able to streamline processes
enabling them to share digital pictures with friends, family and business associates regardless of geographic
location.

New Orleans, La. (September 21, 1999) - Motorola today announced an
industry-first: digital wireless handsets that are end user upgradable via
the Internet. All iDEN® plus series handsets released beginning in 1999
will have the ability to be upgraded to allow users to take advantage of
new features and applications as they become available, similar to the way
individuals update software on their personal computers today.
Users will soon be able to upgrade their iDEN handsets using available
flash memory. For example, users can now take advantage of new handset
features such as Internet microbrowser upgrades and other applications as
they become available, ultimately extending the usability and convenience
of their handsets, providing additional capability and enhancing the user
experience. This will effectively allow for enhanced services, such as
enabling end users to access location-specific, content-related
applications.
