TAMPA, FLORIDA -- October 24, 2002 - We are proud to announce that our presentation solution, Pocket Slides, has been declared a winner as the Best PowerPoint and Presentation software at the Pocket PC Awards 2002 ceremony held yesterday, October 23, at Pocket PC Summit in Hollywood, California.

Pocket Slides enables users to create, view or give presentations using a mobile device. Existing presentations from Microsoft® PowerPoint® may be copied to the device with the aid of the drag-and-drop conversion that Pocket Slides offers. Closely mirroring the functionality of Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Pocket Slides incorporates a myriad of creative animations, transitions, varied fonts, text colors, and shapes. Pocket Slides marks the first occasion for users of Pocket PC 2002 to give a presentation using solely their Pocket PC device. With the use of a peripheral VGA card attached to the Pocket PC, Pocket Slides enables the device to connect with a projector system, alleviating the need for laptops.

"We're honored and absolutely delighted to receive the award for best PowerPoint and Presentation solution. The competition in this category was fierce, and the award recognizes the fact that editing slides is a feature that users find necessary in a mobile presentation solution," said Conduits President and CEO, Jason Patterson.

The Pocket PC Awards are organized every year by Pocket PC magazine to honor the Best Pocket PC products. This year 436 software titles from 57 categories were nominated for the awards. Out of those, 158 were selected as finalists, and 57 emerged as winners. The finalists and winners were selected by a Board of Experts which comprises some of the most respected and knowledgeable people in the Pocket PC community.

Conduits develops several commercial applications for Pocket PC, including Peacemaker (a cross-platform infrared exchange utility), Pocket Artist (a drawing and image manipulation program for Pocket PC) and Pocket Album (a photo album and picture frame program for Pocket PC). Conduits also hosts several open source efforts, such as Pocket Spark.
