NTFY and NTFYU UP BIGTIME TODAY ON NEWS: Related Quotes NTFY 7 7/16 +5 1/2 delayed 20 mins - disclaimer Tuesday February 2, 10:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Notify Technology Corporation Notify Technology Corporation Announces Visual 'Got Mail' Technology For E-Mail Subscribers Using Their Home Telephone Lines SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Notify Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: NTFY - news) today announced its development of visual ''Got Mail'' technology that will allow home users to see that they have new e-mail without turning on their computers. Notify is marketing the technology to large telephone companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that would offer the visual ''Got Mail'' service to their dial-up e-mail customers as a value-added service. ''Dial-up e-mail users have long suffered the 10-minute ritual of powering on the computer, waiting for the modem to connect with the ISP, opening the e-mail application and checking for new messages -- and all too often to discover that there aren't any,'' said Paul DePond, president and chief executive officer of Notify Technology Corporation. ''Equally frustrating, e-mail users forget to check their mail -- sometimes for days at a time -- missing important messages. ''Notify Technology Corporation has developed the visual 'Got Mail' technology to help reduce this e-mail user frustration,'' he said. As telephone companies and ISPs embrace this technology, the visual ''Got Mail'' service will be marketed to the more than 80 million ISP and free web-hosted dial-up e-mail users nationwide. ''The initial response to our technology has been overwhelming,'' said DePond. ''Telephone companies are especially excited about this technology because it promises a possible visual notification solution for future Unified Messaging services. ''We are negotiating with several telephone companies and ISPs to begin trials of products that incorporate this technology,'' he said. This revolutionary new technology has been designed to operate with all POP3 and IMAP4 e-mail systems, which are the most commonly used by ISPs, as well as other proprietary e-mail systems hosted by some of the largest providers in the world. Notify Technology Corporation is currently working to enhance the technology to operate with free web-based e-mail providers, the newest trend in residential e-mail service. Notify Technology Corporation, headquartered in San Jose, California, develops and manufactures telephony adjuncts, devices that add value to business and residential telephone services offered by telephone companies. The Company's best-known product is the MessageAlert, a visual message waiting indicator for telephone company voice mail. The Company also sells a Centrex-based auto attendant product that is marketed under the names Centrex Receptionist and Plexar Receptionist by various telephone companies as part of their Centrex product line. Notify Technology sells its products through OEM relationships to major telephone companies and telephony product retailers.
