INSGY..ready to ignite....good news expected at Embedded Conference this week... Insignia Works With Sun to Revise Brand Strategy for Jene Final Version, Called Jeode, Available In Next Few Weeks Fremont, CA, February 25, 1999 -- Insignia Solutions® (Nasdaq: INSGY), announced today the upcoming launch of Jeode™ (pronounced "Jee-ode"), its implementation of Sun's Java technology for embedded systems. Jeode was introduced at the Embedded Systems Conference last fall under the name Jene™. The company anticipates customer shipments of Jeode by the end of March. "We've been beta-testing since November with some of the leading manufacturers of consumer electronics, automotive systems, data/telecom and other embedded markets," said Ron Workman, senior vice president of marketing at Insignia Solutions. "The feedback we've received has been excellent, with Jeode exceeding expectations. We're progressing on schedule and are confident that we will make our previously announced release date," he added. Insignia signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sun Microsystems recently, which could set the stage for success of Jeode in the embedded marketplace. "We're very excited to be working in partnership with Sun," stated Rick Noling, president and CEO of Insignia. "When Sun formally announced its JINI technology in December, we recognized the possibility of confusion by the similarity between the two names. In order to avoid confusing potential customers, we are changing the name to Jeode prior to the official release of the product in March."
