`Microsoft Introduces Palm PC, PC Companion Powered by Windows CE 2.0
`
`LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 1998 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the Palm PC (P/PC), the latest
`addition to the PC Companion line of products powered by the Windows® CE operating system
`version 2.0, putting the benefits of desktop information, synchronization, offline Web viewing and
`support for wireless communication into a device that fits in the palm of your hand. Seven
`hardware manufacturers - Casio Computer Company Ltd., FIC Group (Everex/LEO), LG Electronics
`Inc., Palmax Technology Company Ltd., Philips Electronics North America Corp., Samsung
`Electronics America Inc. and Uniden Corp. - have announced support for the Palm PC platform.
`Microsoft plans to ship the Palm PC software to OEMs in the first quarter of 1998.
`
`"Palm PCs bring users everything they'd get from a connected organizer, but they also enable them
`to access e-mail with attachments, create and access voice recordings, view Web content offline
`and use multiple input methods," said Craig Mundie, senior vice president of the consumer
`platforms division at Microsoft. "In addition, the Windows CE 2.0 operating system guarantees that
`there will be thousands of developers able to create compelling solutions for these devices."
`
`"We at Philips have chosen to leverage the success of the Velo 1 by extending our handheld
`companion product line with the Nino 300 and, in turn, providing a choice of Windows CE-based
`products for our customers," said Alan Soucy, general manager of Philips Mobile Computing
`Group. "We believe that with Windows CE, Microsoft has created a powerful platform that is
`familiar and easy to learn, and is open to a base of developers that seems limitless."
`
`"Windows CE 2.0 is a great platform for the new Palm PC product," said Gary Rado, executive vice
`president of Casio's Handheld PC division. "The Palm PC is a natural extension for Microsoft
`Windows CE and puts it into another consumer-friendly and useful product category. We at Casio
`are excited about the future growth prospects and market opportunities presented by this new
`category of Windows CE-based products."
`
`Palm PCs enable users to carry their vital desktop information - calendar, contacts, tasks, inbox, and
`Internet and intranet information - in one convenient, palm-sized design with easy-to-use one-
`handed operation. Users can easily share business and personal information with office and home
`PCs as well as with other Windows CE-powered PC Companion devices. With ActiveSync ™
`technology capabilities in Windows CE 2.0, Palm PC users can update key information from the
`desktop to the Palm PC and back, quickly and automatically.
`
`A key design feature of the Palm PC is users' ability to input and retrieve information in a variety of
`formats. The Palm PC allows users to quickly access and input information by voice, ink, a soft
`keyboard or handwriting recognition, using natural and simplified characters.
`
`Like the entire PC Companion line of products, the Palm PC was designed to be upgradable via
`ROM replacement; expandable, with a compact flash slot for storage and i/o modules (such as
`modems, Ethernet and wireless); and open for third-party applications and
`add-ons.
`
`"Creating a broad Windows CE development platform for the Palm PC will be a key ingredient for
`making these devices successful," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies Inc. "This will
`allow developers to create important and exciting applications that can make the Palm PC an
`indispensable tool for business and personal use."
`
`"The more we work with Windows CE, the more confident we are that it is the mobile operating
`system of the future," said John Hewitt, vice president of equities for Goldman, Sachs & Co. "Our
`technology team is impressed with the richness of the system and what the supporting hardware
`provides in multiple form factors. Our brokers and traders are looking forward to our 1998
`Windows CE implementation on the New York Stock Exchange floor, when we'll use Palm PCs and
`Handheld PCs to transact our business."
`
`"Nalleys is committed to providing first-class systems support throughout the organization," said
`David Stenhouse, MIS manager of Nalleys Canada Ltd. "Our mobile Direct Store Delivery (DSD)
`system needs to integrate with the Nalleys ERP, customer management and office systems. The
`Palm PC form factor and Windows CE operating system environment provide us with a powerful,
