OZ LAUNCHES FIRST FULLY EMBEDDED JAVA ME CONSUMER MESSAGING APPLICATIONS

Java applications will provide native-like experience on mobile devices.

San Francisco, CA and Montreal, Canada - May 9, 2007 - OZ, the leading consumer mobile messaging solution provider, today announced an industry first - a fully embedded Java Micro Edition (ME) consumer messaging application. The application is fully integrated and embedded on the device, out-of-the-box, allowing for consumer delivery of a native-like experience, while overcoming device centric concerns such as battery usage, memory access and Java ME device interaction.

Currently available on the Nokia 5300 for the T-Mobile USA and Rogers Canada networks, the OZ Mobile IM Client fully runs in background mode, allows for icons and message indicators on the main device idle screen, includes auto-start when the device powers-on and has fully branded notifications with instant access to application. Additional devices will soon launch in North America with the embedded IM client, as well as the embedded OZ consumer mobile email client.

"Close collaboration between OZ and device OEMs allows us to improve integration of mobile messaging applications and proves that embedded Java ME applications can provide native-like performance," said Dan Coole, Vice President, Global Partnering and Device Application Business at OZ. "By leveraging our long standing OEM relationships in this space, we are able to deliver a real-time messaging experience, which provides the consumer with easy discovery and access to the world's most popular messaging communities, such as AOL ®, MSN® and Yahoo! ®."

With embedded Java applications, OEMs have the ability to meet dynamic market needs with applications that look and feel like they are part of the device, rather than an add-on. By embedding such a solution, OEMs are able to easily satisfy customization requirements of different customers, reduce risk and effort in meeting the constantly evolving user demands, easily integrate messaging community feature evolution and quickly deliver certified solutions to the market. OZ has unparalleled experience in embedding Java ME consumer messaging applications - to date OZ has over 90 million clients deployed on mobile devices.
