NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 21, 2003--
PowerCAD CE 5.2 Delivers Unprecedented CAD Functionality
for Mobile Design Professionals Using Latest Generation
of Handheld Pocket PC's, Tablet PC's and Pocket PC Cell Phones
GiveMePower Corporation (OTCBB:GMPW), a rapidly emerging provider
of desktop, mobile and wireless software solutions for the
design/build industry, today announced it is now shipping new version
5.2 releases of its critically acclaimed PowerCAD CE(TM)
mobile/wireless computer-aided design (CAD) software. The new versions
have been optimized for high performance on the latest generation of
Microsoft Windows CE(R) and Windows CE .NET(R) equipped Pocket PC's,
Tablet PC's and Pocket PC Cell Phones utilizing Intel's new XScale(TM)
Processor.
Three new PowerCAD CE 5.2 versions - PowerCAD CE Viewer(TM),
PowerCAD CE Classic(TM), and PowerCAD CE Professional(TM), feature
numerous breakthroughs in mobile CAD technology, enabling companies to
save time, improve customer service and increase profits by being able
to view, markup, and create precise AutoCAD(R) compatible 2 and
3-dimensional designs and digital blueprints in the field or on the
shop floor using the latest mobile/wireless handheld computing devices
from leading vendors such as HP, Dell, T-Mobile and Rockwell
Automation.
"PowerCAD CE is the only Windows CE based CAD system in the world
that delivers workstation power in the palm of your hand", said Bill
Walton, President and CEO of GiveMePower. "Our new releases place us
miles ahead of our nearest competitor in providing true 2 and
3-dimensional CAD for an estimated 2 million people looking to improve
their productivity and reduce costs by having mobile CAD and digital
blueprint processing available for use on their projects."
Instantly usable by operators of any skill level, PowerCAD CE is
designed for engineers, architects, builders, designers, renovators,
manufacturers, site inspectors, project managers, facilities managers,
emergency response workers, surveyors, realtors, military personnel,
GIS professionals and anyone else who needs to work with 2D or 3D CAD
drawings and blueprints.
PowerCAD CE Release 5.2 highlights include:
-- new support for Intel(R) XScale(TM) equipped Pocket PC's, such
as HP's 3900 series iPAQ(R) and Dell's Axim(TM) X5
-- new support for Microsoft's latest Windows CE(R) 3.0 and
Windows CE .NET(R) mobility computing platforms
-- special editions for ruggedized, full-screen Tablets, such as
Advantech's MobiPanel(TM) and Rockwell's VersaView(R)
-- new simplified and customizable pen-based interface for
instant usability, even by non-CAD familiar operators
-- new direct on-board conversion of industry-standard AutoCAD
DWG(R) and DXF(R) files (R12 to R2002 formats)
-- new exporting of AutoCAD compatible DWF(R) (Design Web Format)
small-footprint vector file format
-- support for remote e-mail and wireless collaboration with
AutoCAD, PowerCAD and other desktop CAD systems
-- enhanced 2D/3D viewing, redlining, sketching and hands-free
VoiceNOTE(TM) audio note keeping technology

design options and new multiple viewport control

of precise 2D/3D coordinates, directions and distances

unlimited BMP, PNG, JPG, and TIF file importing

"PowerCAD CE is exactly what the Pocket PC was made for", said
Robert Horn of Into Design Group, a trade show and interior design
consulting company located in West Jordan, Utah. "Ever since we got
it, we have not had to work on our desktop computers at all. We can
start drawings from scratch on-site and keep working on them in the
car, the couch - anywhere. We tried all the other mobile CAD systems,
but PowerCAD CE, in our opinion, is the only true CAD program for the
Pocket PC."
Other PowerCAD CE users include a growing list of Fortune 500
companies such as Maytag Corporation and General Dynamics Corporation,
as well as America's top governmental institutions including the
Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, and
multiple branches of the U.S. Military, who are taking advantage of
PowerCAD CE's combination of power, size and exceptional compatibility
with desktop leader AutoCAD(R), to mobilize their workforces.
In addition to its PowerCAD CE mobile/wireless CAD solutions,
GiveMePower's product offerings include PowerCAD Pro(TM) and PowerCAD
LT+(TM) for Windows(R) desktop computing, and PowerCAD Architect(TM),
a new user-friendly software system that automates 2 and 3-dimensional
design for companies involved in residential building design and light
commercial construction applications.
Starting at $99, PowerCAD CE products are available for purchase
or free trial from givemepower.com, with special
introductory savings up to $100 on the Pro version in effect until the
end of January, 2003.
