AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2003

Motion Computing, an innovator in ultra-mobile computing and wireless communications, today announced the availability of Motion M1200 Tablet PCs bundled with the Sign-On(tm) biometric security application developed by Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC"), the leader in electronic signature, biometric verification and natural input solutions, (Nasdaq:CICI).

Sign-On is the first Tablet PC security feature using biometric signature verification to help protect and secure user data from tampering or theft. By using advanced biometric algorithms for authentication, Sign-On associates a handwritten drawing or signature with a user's Windows password, allowing Tablet PC users to quickly log in with the stroke of a pen.

This capability is the result of a licensing, development and distribution agreement between Motion Computing and CIC. The agreement also allows Motion to distribute CIC's broad range of electronic signature and biometric authentication solutions via its direct distribution and rapidly expanding network of resellers.

"Security is of utmost importance to many of our customers," said Kim Kasee, Motion's vice president of marketing. "We've responded to our customers' requirements by embedding the leading biometric security software that combines the comfort and familiarity of handwritten signatures with the enhanced security of biometric authentication."

"The Motion M1200 Tablet PC is an ideal new computing platform to showcase our leadership position with patented technologies that are used to provide both heightened security via biometric authentication and paperless transactions leveraging the strength of our legally binding eSignature offerings," said Russ Davis, vice president of product development for CIC.
