Faster than most modems:

Compatibility with current cell phone infrastructure:

Price/Performance:

Ease of use:

No additional formatting needed:

Easy customization:

No additional costs:

While current cellular networks deliver web pages in 23 seconds to 3 minutes, the PocketSurfer2’s 10X speed acceleration
means most pages are downloaded in less than 7 seconds. At this speed it is even faster than many home internet connections.

Delivering today, the promise of future networks. The PocketSurfer2 is faster in surfing websites than many 3G devices out in the
market today.

Most PDA’s are not intended for web-access. At a similar price to the PocketSurfer2 device, others offer only a simple organizer
at half the screen width. The cost of upgrading most PDA’s to become wireless is generally more than that of a full featured
PocketSurfer2. Factoring in the price of using alternative devices to surf the web, which can be prohibitively expensive compared
with FREE usage which comes with the PocketSurfer2 makes this even a greater value.

Corporate and institutional intranets benefit by allowing their mobile work forces to efficiently access their websites.

Since the PocketSurfer2 solution is easy to use AND the only means of accessing the web without re-formatting for a wireless
environment, it is the ideal tool for major corporate sites.

The PocketSurfer2 can be used as part of existing web-based intranets without additional formatting or site modifications. The
mobile workforce can take advantage of the familiarity of their intranet on our wireless device the same as they see it on their
desktop computers.

Implementation of our wireless solution for corporate enterprise applications requires only setting their site as the web-entry
portal.

Business currently need to make heavy investments in reformatting content for Wireless formats. This additional cost is
eliminated by the use of the PocketSurfer2’s. The breadth of applications for the PocketSurfer2 is as wide-ranging as the
complete Internet solution.
