PIXO TEAMS WITH AU-SYSTEM TO DELIVER NEXT-GENERATION MOBILE INTERNET APPLICATIONS Collaboration Demonstrates Advanced WAP Capability CUPERTINO, CA - December 9, 1999 - Pixo, Inc., a leading developer of integrated software applications for wireless devices, today announced that it will collaborate with AU-System, Sweden's largest specialty software and consulting company in the mobile telecommunications arena. As part of this strategic alliance, Pixo and AU-System will work closely to integrate Pixo's graphical user interface and personal information management (PIM) applications with the AU-System WAP browser. The integration of Pixo's software with AU-System's WAP browser demonstrates the extensibility of both the Pixo and AU-System platforms. Designed to offer the maximum flexibility to phone manufacturers, Pixo's architecture is capable of supporting the AU-System WAP browser in addition to its own HTML browser. Likewise, AU-System's architecture also features a modular design that allows easy integration of Pixo's graphical user interface. When combined, the Pixo and AU-System software products will provide a rich set of PIM applications on the phone, as well as the ability to utilize today's WAP networks and tomorrow's wireless Internet access technologies. "AU-System has established itself as a leader of the WAP initiative by being a key contributor to the WAP specifications and the WAP Forum," said Rich Rifredi, Vice President of Marketing at Pixo. "The fact that Pixo's platform can seamlessly integrate with AU-System's WAP browser assures our customers that Pixo's software can comply with and support their WAP applications." "Both Pixo and AU-System are dedicated to establishing next-generation services, applications and systems for mobile Internet access," said Anders Cedervall, Executive Vice President of AU-System. "The agreement with Pixo is an important step towards our goal to deliver the mobile Internet applications of the future."
