Pocket Favourites™ Software Serves as Synchronisation Tool and Mobile Web Launcher

MOBILE, Ala. (April 11, 2005) – Chapura®, Inc., an innovator of software designed to simplify and organise lives, today released Pocket Favourites™, the first application that makes use of Palm Powered™ handhelds to synchronise the list of Web sites in Internet Explorer Favourites between multiple computers and lets customers launch these favorite Web sites automatically in their mobile Web browsers. The reliable synchronization of Pocket Favorites makes it easy to maintain a single list of favorite Web sites in several places, and the seamless integration with built-in browsers on Web-enabled devices adds usability to this list on the handheld.

Key Features of Pocket Favorites 1.0
Taking advantage of the Favorites productivity tool in Internet Explorer and the mobility of the handheld, Pocket Favorites offers immediate and easy access to important online information. At home, at work or on the go, customers can now do all of the following with the help of a single software application, Pocket Favorites:
o Synchronize Internet Explorer Favorites list between 2 or more PCs, using a Palm Powered™ device as the go-between, for convenient one-click access to Web sites.
o Employ the Internet Explorer Favorites list in Pocket Favorites on the handheld as a Web site launcher using the built-in browser.
o Have the actual URLs of Favorites available for reference on the handheld, letting customers easily pull up the sites on PCs where they do not have links set up.

“Pocket Favorites meets the needs of Web-savvy individuals who want to maximize the mobile capabilities of their handhelds,” says Keith Ellenberg, president and chief operating officer at Chapura. “With Pocket Favorites, we are re-setting customers’ expectations of their handheld. PDAs are no longer just about storing information so it’s available at all times. Customers are most relieved when they can use the information that is on the handheld in the same way it was intended to be used on the desktop.”

PalmSource agrees. “Pocket Favorites is an example of how Chapura excels at building Palm OS® applications designed to achieve tight integration and synchronization between Palm Powered mobile devices and desktop-based solutions,” said Larry Berkin, director of developer marketing at PalmSource. “We believe the combination of Pocket Favorites and Palm OS is an invaluable tool for mobile professionals looking to maximize productivity and access to information on-the-go.”

Pocket Favorites is the second software utility from Chapura to integrate with Internet Explorer while synchronizing data with a Palm Powered™ handheld. Released in June 2004, TurboPasswords password manager includes an Internet Explorer plug-in that offers one-click access to Web sites listed in the encrypted TurboPasswords database and automatically fills in online login forms. The password-protected database synchronizes with Palm Powered handhelds to allow for convenient, easy and safe organization of passwords, PINs and other personal information.
