LiMo Foundation(TM) Completes LiMo Platform(TM) Release 1

LiMo Foundation, a global consortium of mobile leaders delivering
an open handset platform for the whole mobile industry, announced
today the on-schedule availability of LiMo Platform Release 1. The
LiMo Platform is the world´s first globally competitive, Linux-based
software platform for mobile devices.

"With Release 1 of the LiMo Platform now completed, LiMo
Foundation has established a scalable and sustainable mobile device
platform that will spur rapid innovation and contributions from all
LiMo members," said Morgan Gillis, executive director of LiMo
Foundation. "This is an extremely exciting time to be a part of the
LiMo Foundation - in slightly more than one year, we have rolled out
our deliverables on schedule, our membership has continued to grow
strongly with broad engagement from across the mobile communications
industry, and leading handset providers have already released a range
of devices using LiMo technology."

The LiMo Platform--leveraging standards and open-source
projects--is a modular, plug-in, hardware-independent architecture
built around an open operating system, with a secure run-time
environment for support of downloaded applications. All of the
enabling technology within Release 1--created by the foundation´s
Founder members--has now been commercially deployed and proven within
multiple handsets enjoyed by consumers today, as well as in several
reference and pilot devices that will be on the market later this
year. This represents hundreds of millions of dollars of technology
investment to date.

Release 2 of the LiMo Platform is now being specified and
developed within a collaborative process involving a range of LiMo
members and is planned to be completed in a late 2008 timeframe.

Kiyohito Nagata of NTT DoCoMo, chairman of LiMo Foundation added,
"With developers able to cost-effectively leverage LiMo´s global reach
and market-tested expertise in rolling out their innovations, the
mobile Internet experiences of consumers everywhere stand to be
transformed."

Third-party developers can use LiMo´s application programming
interface (API) specifications--available now at
www.limofoundation.org--to build new applications that deliver
next-generation consumer experiences across a tremendous, stable base
of globally deployed mobile devices. Middleware components for the
LiMo Platform can be implemented in either C or C++ programming
languages. Software Development Kits for Native, Webkit and Java
operating environments will be released from the second half of 2008,
further empowering mobile application developers.

Launched in January 2007, LiMo Foundation is open to all vendors
and service providers in the mobile communications marketplace,
including device manufacturers, operators, chipset manufacturers,
independent software vendors, integrators and third-party developers.
