AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2004

Motion Computing(R), a leader in mobile computing products for healthcare, field sales and service, government and other vertical markets, today announced its inclusion in the Red Herring 100.

The Red Herring 100 award has a tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. "At the Red Herring, we scour the industry to identify the best and brightest technology companies that are transforming the current markets or creating new ones," said Alex Vieux, publisher of the Red Herring. "The Red Herring 100 is our annual list of our most promising private companies. Like Google, eBay, Salesforce.com and other previous Red Herring alumni, these 100 have the potential to become the next titans of industry."

"On behalf of the Motion team, we're delighted that the editors of Red Herring have included our company in their latest rankings of the top private technology companies," said Motion CEO Scott Eckert. "We've come a long way since Motion was founded in 2001, and the future for our products and services is brighter than ever."

Motion and other companies were considered based on a number of factors, including financial performance, product innovation and business model.

The Red Herring 100 recognition is Motion's sixth major award in 2004 and follows on the heels of a coveted PC Magazine Editors' Choice award for its Motion M1400 Tablet PC design innovations. The company is rapidly expanding its efficient, build-to-order business model internationally and has consistently grown market share to become a top-tier player in the global tablet PC market.
