Bitstream® Announces Preview of ThunderHawk™ 2.0
LONDON, ENGLAND — June 15, 2004 — Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) announced today the release of ThunderHawk 2.0, the company’s breakthrough mobile browsing technology. Bitstream is previewing ThunderHawk 2.0 PocketPC Edition at Mobile Enterprise 2004 today through Thursday.
ThunderHawk 2.0 further narrows the gap between mobile and desktop environments by including functionality that enhances the browsing experience on small screen devices:
Effortless Scrolling. Fast, fluid Web page navigation, as if you were browsing on your desktop.
Increased Speed. Download ThunderHawk directly to your PocketPC for the fastest mobile Web page speeds available.
Immediate Browsing at Download. Just-rendered Web links work immediately, so you don’t have to wait for the initial page to finish downloading.
Seamless Connectivity. With ThunderHawk 2.0, a dropped connection is re-established immediately, along with any data you previously entered.
While some browsers reformat the Web page for quick reading, users still have to scroll through several pages before finding the information they need. ThunderHawk 2.0 promotes effortless navigation on mobile devices because HTML Web pages look just as they would appear on desktop browsers users are already familiar with. As a result, images are full and crisp, text is sharp, and users can easily find and read information.
“Our ThunderHawk development goals always focus on delivering the best user experience for browsing Web pages on mobile devices,” said Anna Chagnon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bitstream. “ThunderHawk 2.0 meets our users’ expectations of not only finding information fast, but also being able to read it quickly on their PocketPCs. ThunderHawk enterprise clients will appreciate this ease-of-use, especially when deploying business applications for access in the field, as well as ThunderHawk’s 128-bit encryption technology not available on any other mobile browser. Bitstream looks forward to releasing ThunderHawk 2.0 for cell and SmartPhone users in upcoming months.”

About ThunderHawk
ThunderHawkTM, a breakthrough wireless Web browser from Bitstream, brings the familiar desktop browsing experience to mobile devices.
ThunderHawk eliminates excessive scrolling and slow data transmission speeds that plague other mobile browsers. Some mobile browsers reformat a Web page so you can read information quickly, but you still have to scroll through several pages of text to find what you need. Other browsers show only a small portion of a Web page, forcing you to scroll around a stamp-sized window.
With ThunderHawk, you can view sharp text and crisp graphics on full Web pages, so information is always easy to find and easy to read on small screen devices. Data is transmitted in a compact format, making ThunderHawk the fastest wireless Web browser in head-to-head comparisons.
Designed to be device and operating system-independent, ThunderHawk offers a consistent browsing experience across wireless devices and platforms. ThunderHawk supports rich, full-featured Web pages with a high degree of compliance with open HTML standards, including CSS and DHTML.
As the only browser with 128-bit encryption both ways, ThunderHawk provides highest level of security available. You can even submit complex forms on your mobile device that you can't use with other wireless browsers because ThunderHawk is JavaScript compliant.
By delivering full-featured Web browsing to mobile devices, ThunderHawk enables you to view websites just as they would appear on your desktop, for effortless mobile browsing anytime, anywhere.
