JP Systems' Two-way Wireless Messaging and Email for Palmpilot Connected Organizer Now Shipping DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 1998--JP Systems today announces the shipment of its One-Touch(tm) software for the 3COM PalmPilot(tm) connected organizer. One-Touch integrates wireless communication with AccessLink(tm) two-way pagers from the Wireless Access Group of Glenayre Technologies Inc. [Nasdaq:GEMS - news] via SkyTel's SkyWriter(tm) service and MCI's interactive nationwide service. The product is shipping through JP Systems (www.jpsystems.com) and PilotGear Resellers on-line (www.pilotgear.com) for $69.95. A PalmPilot connected organizer with One-Touch software connected to the AccessLink two-way pager allows the sending of individual numeric or alphanumeric pages, group messages and personal email. JP Systems' One-Touch with PalmPilot connected organizer enables users to communicate wherever two-way paging service is available, without dial-ups, wires or operators. The One-Touch application designed by JP Systems is a combination of software and cable products that allows users to send and receive messages or email from a PalmPilot connected organizer using their AccessLink two-way wireless pager. Exclusive features available with the One-Touch software include the ability to enter messages using the PalmPilot connected organizer's Graffiti handwriting recognition system; forward, resend and reply to messages that have been downloaded from the pager; editing of custom canned messages; determination of transmission status of messages in the out-box; group addressing of messages; and usage of existing address book fields for pager and email addresses. ''JP Systems' One-Touch software linking the PalmPilot connected organizer with the user's pager makes this an invaluable tool for the mobile business person,'' said Mark Bercow, vice president, strategic alliances and platform development for Palm Computing, a 3COM Company. ''We are excited that JP Systems has begun shipping its One-Touch messaging software and users can begin to realize the benefit of truly economical wireless connectivity,'' said Greg Reyes, president of Glenayre's Wireless Access Group. ''JP Systems' One-Touch software makes the AccessLink a must-carry companion for the PalmPilot connected organizer user.'' ''With the strong and growing demand for enhanced text messaging services, consumers are looking for a convenient, portable messaging solution,'' said Kerry McKelvey, vice president of marketing, SkyTel. ''By combining the power of our network with JP Systems' software applications and the AccessLink from Wireless Access, PalmPilot connected organizer users will now have that messaging solution. They will be able to wirelessly communicate with other users as well as anyone with an Internet email address.'' ''Wireless communication is the cornerstone of future technology, and soon organizers based on the Palm Computing platform will be standard communications tools,'' said Prabhakar Guniganti, president of JP Systems. ''The PalmPilot connected organizer featuring our software is the first step toward integrating wireless into data sharing, and we are excited to be a part of it.''
