NeoMedia Extends Availability of New 'Go-Window' Product to Include Java MIDP 2.0-Based Cell Phones
FT. MYERS, Fla.--July 14, 2004--NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), said today it has extended the availability of its "PaperClick Mobile Go-Window(TM)" product for cell phones, PDAs and other Web-enabled wireless devices to include the popular Java MIDP 2.0 (Mobile Independent Device Profile) standard.
The PaperClick Mobile Go-Window is a horizontal bar on the screen of a wireless device where users can enter numeric strings from UPC or other bar codes to link directly to targeted online information via patented PaperClick(R) technology and software.
"Our Go-Window is now compatible with cell phones, Smartphones, PDAs and other wireless devices which support Java MIDP 2.0 and which allow retrieval of URLs through the MIDP 'platform Request' method," said Charles T. Jensen, president, COO and acting CEO of NeoMedia. "Java MIDP 2.0 has emerged as a popular worldwide industry standard for new wireless devices, including the Nokia(R) 6600 cell phones and the soon-to-be-released Samsung(R) A700," he said.
Last week NeoMedia introduced the Go-Window for devices using the PalmOS(TM) (operating system), including the Palm(TM) Tungsten C PDA and the Handspring(TM) Treo 270 and 600 Smartphones. The Go-Window is also compatible with any Palm OS-based device running the Palm Web Browser or the Blazer Web Browser. NeoMedia also supports the worldwide marketplace for SymbianOS(TM)-based devices with its PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones(TM) product, which was introduced in December, employing the camera of a Web-enabled phone to take a "picture" of a bar code to link to the Web. Among the phones supported by the SymbianOS are the Nokia 3600, 3620, 3650, and 3660.
NeoMedia's growing product family is based on its patented PaperClick technology, which allows bar codes and other machine-readable identifiers to be directly linked to targeted Web-based information sources. Earlier versions of PaperClick run on Windows(R)-based PCs and the Palm Pilot(R) PDA.
'Go-Window for People On-The-Go'
"The Mobile Go-Window gives today's on-the-go business people and consumers who rely on handheld devices the power and advantage of Internet-based information, whenever they want it, no matter where they are," said Jensen. "Now, with support for Java MIDP 2.0 as well as the PalmOS and SymbianOS, NeoMedia is putting power in the handhelds of business users and consumers as never before.
"The prediction by Bill Gates of Microsoft that we would all have 'information at our fingertips' is coming true," Jensen said, "and NeoMedia continues to play an ever-increasing role in making that dream a reality."
Initially Available to Service Providers
Jensen said the PaperClick Mobile Go-Window is initially available to companies providing services for Web-based cell phones, Smartphones, PDAs and other wireless devices, manufacturers of those devices, and IT and wireless industry research analysts and other potential partners.
"It is our hope that companies providing services and manufacturers wanting to raise the level of their product offerings will 'go' with our Go-Window," said Jensen.
Information is available from (630) 435-9200, Ext. 125, or by e-mailing info1@paperclick.com.
