Paragon Software Debuts FoneSync(TM) PRO - The Complete Platform For Synchronizing Information Between Mobile and Internet Devices NEW ORLEANS, Wireless 2000, Feb 28, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Paragon Software a leading developer of synchronization technology for mobile phones, who has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Phone.com, Inc (Nasdaq: PHCM), today announces FoneSync PRO the world's first complete solution for managing distributed data between mobile phones, Personal Information Managers (PIMs), Internet Personal Information Managers (iPIMs) and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Incorporating all the features of FoneSync(TM) Essentials, FoneSync PRO offers, in addition, support for the latest generation of feature rich smart phones, which include calendars, tasks lists, and full contact data and support for PDAs. Users can now update and share this rich information between mobile phones, desktop PIMs, iPIMs and PDAs -- all at the touch of a button. Update one device and the changes are replicated to them all. "Rapid access to up-to-date personal information is critical to business people," said Colin Calder, Chief Executive Officer, Paragon Software. "But up to now, keeping information consistent and accurate across a range of devices has been a logistical nightmare. FoneSync PRO is a one-stop solution to this problem setting a new standard for distributed data synchronization." FoneSync PRO also supports Web-based information, allowing users to look up names and numbers in online White or Yellow Page directories and transfer them directly to the phone. Popular Internet PIMs can also share contact data with the mobile phone. Electronic business cards (vCards) can be dragged and dropped from the Internet and emails directly into FoneSync PRO. "The Internet is a huge resource for the mobile business professional and it has just become more important with WAP becoming a reality. We will be working on every aspect of synchronization whether it be through a cable or over the air," continued Calder. With support for major mobile phone manufacturers, and many popular PIM software solutions, FoneSync PRO offers users the most flexible and comprehensive solution on the market. Paragon today also announced FoneSync Essentials for users without PDAs who wish to synchronize and share contact data between the mobile phone desktop PIMs and iPIMs. About Paragon Software Paragon Software is a pioneer and a leading developer of synchronization technology for all mobile phones.
