Intellisync Announces Hosted Wireless Email Service; "RIM-Like" Push Email Now Available on Any Network in Less Than 30 Minutes

Market Wire, June, 2005

Intellisync Corporation (NASDAQ: SYNC), a leading developer and marketer of wireless email and mobile software, today announced the launch of Intellisync Wireless Email Express(TM). The new hosted service from Intellisync enables true wireless push email with the same enterprise-class security and features of the award-winning Intellisync Mobile Suite(TM) product. Intellisync Express is a completely hosted service sold as a subscription through distributors, resellers and directly by Intellisync, and is being offered at a special introductory price of $120 per year for qualified customers. Anyone with a wireless data plan from any carrier and a data-enabled mobile device can now have true-push wireless email in less than 30 minutes, with virtually no IT expertise required to install and maintain. All aspects of the wireless email service are managed by Intellisync at their hosting facility in the United States.

Intellisync Wireless Email Express provides all mobile users -- from enterprise departments and workgroups to small to medium-sized businesses -- with an easy-to-own alternative to the IT resource-intensive email solutions offered by other software vendors. Despite claims to the contrary, most wireless applications offered by private email companies are difficult to install and require technical expertise to maintain. According to the Company, Intellisync Wireless Email Express is one of the fastest and simplest ways to "have a BlackBerry®-like experience for wireless email on virtually any data-enabled mobile device."

Several major distributors of mobile software and services have already included the new Intellisync offer in their portfolios. The new Intellisync Wireless Email Express product is available now through Ingram Micro (NYSE: IM), Global Wireless Data, and Trio Tek. Each company is distributing Intellisync Express through their reseller networks.

"Ingram Micro is excited to be a lead distributor for Intellisync Wireless Email Express," said Mark Kuta, senior vendor business manager for mobility, Ingram Micro U.S. "We have extensive experience selling and supporting wireless email solutions for enterprise, mid-market and small business. The new Intellisync product fills a segment in our wireless solutions offering and appeals to a broad range of VARs and their end-users who want to implement wireless email olutions without a large IT investment."

"The Express experience has been exceptionally smooth and fast from the start," said Ed Whipple, vice president of sales for Seitlin Corporation, an Intellisync customer. "We wanted wireless email that did everything we needed on the device of our choice, but we didn't want to burden our IT department the way other solutions may. Express delivered! Set-up was painless and our employees were up and running very quickly. We now have wireless email, calendar and contacts and know that we can count on Intellisync to meet our diverse mobility needs into the future."

The features and benefits of Intellisync Wireless Email Express include:

       1. Full-featured, enterprise-class wireless push email & PIM sync
          that keeps users' inboxes, calendars, contacts, tasks and notes
          completely up to date while they are away from the office.
          Express supports meeting requests, attachment viewing, end-to-end
          encryption, password protection, theft/loss protection, and other
          leading features and security that mobile professionals have come
          to expect.
       2. Minimal IT department involvement or expertise required. Express
          is simply downloaded and installed. A web-based user and
          administrative interface enables either user self-servicing, or a
          group can be administered by any non-IT person able to use a
          browser.
       3. Reliable, secure Network Operating Center that helps reduce
          administrative overhead. Intellisync's NOC is staffed and
          monitored in a highly secure, 24x7x365 data center facility. It
          utilizes multiple, redundant back-up power sources, and multiple
          upstream Internet peering, assuring exceptional up-time. By
          locating the communication, synchronization, and administrative
          infrastructure in the NOC, tasks such as Intellisync software
          updates can be automated from the NOC, thereby reducing
          customers' administrative overhead.
       4. Broad device support so customers can use the devices they
          already own rather than having to invest in new and/or
          proprietary devices. Express supports Pocket PC, Palm OS, Symbian
          OS, Windows Mobile Smartphone, and SyncML compliant devices. As
          customers replace older devices, Intellisync's broad device
          support ensures that they can select the device best suited to
          their needs.
       5. Personal Travel Info service to enhance mobile professional
          productivity. Express automatically puts travel itineraries from
          your inbox into your calendar, provides driving directions to and
          from airports, hotels, and meetings, and gives weather forecasts
          based on your travel itinerary. Road warriors find Personal
          Travel Info invaluable for staying on top of their busy
          schedules.
