Bob, It looks like we ain't seen nothing yet....... Object Design(R) Announces Industry's First Java Database for PersonalJava Applications ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java 2.0 is Fully Compatible With Sun Microsystems' PersonalJava Application Environment BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Object Design, Inc. (Nasdaq: ODIS - news), a leading provider of enterprise and embedded data management solutions, today announced that ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java is the first 100% Pure(TM) Java(TM) database management system (DBMS) to be certified fully compatible with Sun Microsystems' PersonalJava application environment. ''ObjectStore PSE Pro is the perfect database for the PersonalJava platform,'' said Will Kassebaum, a project manager at Escient, LLC, a company that merges Internet-based technologies with PC power to create products that make it easier for consumers to manage home entertainment systems. ''We are embedding PSE Pro in our TuneBase family of visual CD cataloging products for high-capacity CD changers. We based our devices on Java technology and ObjectStore PSE Pro because the technologies work so well together and they're easy to embed.'' The PersonalJava environment is Sun's application environment for network- connectable applications running on personal consumer devices for home, office and mobile use. Applications currently under development for PersonalJava include hand-held computers, set-top boxes, game consoles, mobile hand-held devices and smart phones. ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java is the ideal database solution for developers creating these applications because it requires less memory and offers superior performance and time-to-market when compared to traditional database solutions. ''PersonalJava is highly scalable and configurable while requiring minimal system resources, which are key considerations for embedded software applications,'' said Samir Mitra, director of marketing and business development at Sun Microsystems' Consumer and Embedded. ''Object Design's ObjectStore PSE Pro 2.0 provides a valuable technology for PersonalJava developers because it subscribes to the same values with an extremely small footprint and high performance. Together, PersonalJava and PSE Pro provide a valuable solution for Java developers.'' ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java is a full-featured, 100% Pure(R) Java DBMS. It runs anywhere Java does, including on the PersonalJava environment and Windows CE, and it deploys quickly and automatically with no administration required. ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java has a 300-kilobyte footprint and its pure object architecture reduces database and application memory requirements by 25 percent or more, when compared to relational databases. No other database uses less memory, which reduces the cost of producing PersonalJava-based devices such as personal digital assistants, set-top boxes, consumer devices, etc. ''As a compact 100% Pure Java database, ObjectStore PSE Pro 2.0 is a natural fit for embedded systems developers,'' said ObjectStore PSE Pro Product Manager Chris Condo. ''Furthermore, PSE Pro makes it extremely easy for Java developers to deploy mobile computing and embedded solutions across the widest possible range of desktop, server, and real-time operating systems.'' Pricing and Availability ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java 2.0 with PersonalJava support is available now from the Object Design(R) Web site at www.objectdesign.com. The Developer Edition costs $245 per developer, and an end-user license costs $95 per user with quantity discounts and royalty pricing available. ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro runs on any Java-supported platform including Windows, Unix, OS/2, Macintosh and others. I tell you Bob: this whole ODIS story's becoming wild, wild, wild! ObjectStore's becoming a consumer brand!! Can you believe this? TVs, car radios, hand-held devices, you name it: we're talking millions of licenses! ORCL, SYBS and the other RDBMS vendors are still in the backseat but I tell you: soon they'll find themselves jettisoned on the highway (slow lane side). Regards, Gustave.
