INTEL with PUMA ....Puma Technology's Intellisync to be Included in Intel's Future Bluetooth Software Intellisync Synchronization Software Gains Bluetooth Capability SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 1999--Puma Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:PUMA - news), today announced that its industry leading Intellisync© synchronization software will be integrated by Intel© as part of Intel's Bluetooth software and module, which will be available next year. These products will provide mobile devices with an anytime, anywhere global connectivity solution. This comes on the heels of Puma's recent announcement of Intellisync.com(TM); a free Internet-based synchronization service allowing consumers worldwide to keep PCs, mobile devices and Internet content in sync via the web. ``We believe that the Bluetooth specification will become pervasive in the coming years and that this approach will be a key growth enabler for connected devices and Internet appliances,' said Puma Technology President and CEO Brad Rowe. ``We are pleased that our Intellisync products will now incorporate this important new technology.' Bluetooth technology will enable users to connect their mobile computers, digital cellular phones, handheld devices, and other mobile devices together via wireless short-range radio links directly to the Internet.

Users of Bluetooth enabled devices equipped with Intellisync will automatically synchronize their notebook computers via the digital cellular phones in their pockets or synchronize their primary PC with their handheld computer without taking it out of their briefcase. ``Intel is excited about working with companies like Puma to bring the Bluetooth technology to market,' said Simon Ellis, marketing communications manager, Mobile and Handheld Products Group at Intel Corporation. ``By adding Puma's synchronization technology to our Bluetooth software, we're able to provide a key component to enable wireless synchronization of information between devices such as handhelds, notebooks, and desktops.'
