FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Software Upgrade Lets MemorySafe Users Immediately Recover Lost Data After a Hard Reset Users no longer need to re-install MemorySafe software to restore from leading back-up module

Santa Clara, CA - May 25, 2001 - Northstar Mobile(TM) today announced MemorySafe(TM) Flash, a new software upgrade that enables users of several Palm(TM) handheld models to restore files from MemorySafe immediatelywithout re-installing the MemorySafe softwareafter the handheld experiences a hard reset or extended power outage. MemorySafe Flash can be stored directly in the Flash memory of Palm III, Palm IIIc, Palm IIIx, Palm V and Palm Vx handhelds, enabling users of these handhelds to take advantage of this free software upgrade.

MemorySafe Flash stores the MemorySafe application in Flash memory, so this new software is compatible with all Palm handhelds equipped with Flash ROM. Users of these handhelds can download this free software upgrade at www.northstarmobile.com/new_software.

"With the MemorySafe Flash software upgrade, Northstar Mobile has improved the user's experience of MemorySafe, the leading back-up solution for Palm handhelds," says Declan O'Mahoney, president of Northstar Mobile. "Due to the obvious benefits, we expect this to be a popular feature among MemorySafe users."

Now available throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia, MemorySafe can be purchased from many on-line and retail stores, including CompUSA, Staples, J&R Computer World, RCS Computers, CDW, and Amazon.com. Northstar Mobile products also can be purchased on-line at the company's web site, www.northstarmobile.com.

Worldwide, users of Palm m100, Palm III, Palm V and Palm VII series handhelds are taking advantage of MemorySafe to protect their handheld data while away from their offices or homes. Similar to an external disk, MemorySafe simply plugs into the HotSync(R) port of the Palm handheld to enable users to quickly and easily copy files between the handheld and MemorySafe. In the event of a hard reset, or losing the handheld, the data is safely stored on MemorySafe and can be restored to the existing¾or new¾handheld.
