This is a summery from article written in the interactive magazine. Heading 30 sec Q&A
Pack A Revolv
Questions are from senior writer Todd Spangler
Answers are from John Major, CEO of Wireless knowledge date 2/15/99

WHAT IS REVOLV?
It's like a personal Web site. You can go in and pull up your e-mail, calender and directly displayed right there. You do that from literally any device that has a browser on it.

WHY THE NAME?
We want your information to revolve around you - sometimes people feel like they work for the information.

WHAT WILL IT LET YOU DO THAT YOU CAN'T DO TODAY?
We give you a direct window into your {Microsoft} Exchange server. Mobile users not only need to have their data synchronized, but they need to be interrupted. If you flight is canceled, we're going to notify you.

ARE THE NEW WIRELESS DATA OFFERINGS FROM IBM, NEXTEL COMMUNICAIONS, AND MOTOROLA AND CISCO SYSTEMS COMPETITIVE THREATS?
All of these announcements are good for us, because it makes the wireless data market real. Last year. there was no mention of data among cellular providers, This year it's all data.

WHAT'S AFTER REVOLV?
It's natural we'll extend across other group-ware. But I think the next announcement will be something consumer-oriented, probably available by Christmas 2000.

Copy right interactive week

Rangle: short positions are reported on a monthly basis, therefore Feb shorts wont be available until sometime in March. Agree with you on the need for a positive news announcement. And we cant expect any real earnings on Mar 10th..can only hope for less losses than last quarters report.
