At this week's International Consumer

Manager, the world-leading brand of mobile management software,
announced a distribution agreement with Technocel, one of the
largest manufacturers and distributors of cellular phone accessories
in the United States. Handset Manager is already the leading
wireless-to-PC data sharing solution in Europe and Asia, and this
distribution deal marks Mobile Action's entry into North America.
Technocel will display Handset Manager at CES in South Hall, Booth
31139.
Technocel also will display the new CDMA-compatible
version of Handset Manager v8.0. Mobile Action is introducing the
CDMA version at CES as part of its North American marketing launch.
Handset Manager is already offered in a GSM-compatible version
through retailers, carriers and OEMs in Europe and Asia. Handset
Manager currently supports more than 500 of the most popular
cellular phone models from Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, SonyEricsson,

"Technocel is the perfect partner to help us launch
Handset Manager in North America," said Fitzwilliam Yang, brand
manager for Mobile Action. "We recognize that American consumers
rely extensively on their wireless carriers for accessories, and
Technocel has strong relationships with both carriers and retailers,
which means Mobile Action will be able to quickly gain strong market
penetration for Handset Manager."
Handset Manager allows
cellular phone customers to share files and manage features on their
mobile phones from their personal computer. Handset Manager v8.0
includes support for sharing of Outlook and Outlook Express address

messages, and PC-to-cellular file sharing. Mobile Action currently
offers Handset Manager software with USB (universal serial bus),
infrared and Bluetooth-compatible connectivity hardware.
"We
have already had a very positive response from our pre-CES
promotion, and we expect more retailers to sign up to stock the new
version of Handset Manager during the show this week," said Adrian
Hunt, vice president and general manager of Technocel. "We also
anticipate that many of our carrier partners will start stocking
Handset Manager in their storefronts before the end of the quarter.
Handset Manager is the ideal complement to our growing line of
wireless phone accessories."
