SYWARE Announces 30-Day Evaluation Edition of Visual CE®, Rapid Application Development Environment for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs, Available at No Charge

Cambridge, MA (February 3, 2004) - SYWARE, Inc., a leading developer of intuitive database tools for business and personal productivity, today announced the availability of a no charge Evaluation Edition of Visual CE®, the award-winning rapid application development software for database and forms development on Microsoft® Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Windows CE devices. Available for download at http://www.syware.com/vceeval.htm, the evaluation edition provides users with the full range of Visual CE's capabilities for a 30-day period. To retain all work done, users must purchase a Personal, Professional, or Enterprise Edition of Visual CE before the evaluation period ends.

Visual CE is designed for a wide range of applications, from field sales to inventory management to patient tracking. It is the fastest and easiest way to create mobile databases and forms; in minutes, users can collect, display, modify, and synchronize data, with no programming required. Flexible forms can be designed on a desktop PC or a handheld device, then run on any Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, or Windows CE device. Recently added features include the ability to store images from the HP Photosmart Mobile Camera in a database, an array of uses for variables, alarm functions, support for sounds and the creation of image maps, built-in support for 'one-click' bar code scanning using Socket's ultra-small In-Hand Scan Cards™, and the ability to send SMS messages directly from within a database application.

Royalty-free distribution of Visual CE applications means developers can quickly deploy their programs throughout the company at a fraction of the cost of any other database program on the market. Integration with mEnable®, SYWARE's breakthrough wireless architecture, extends handheld applications with real-time, interactive access to server data allowing mobile devices to be easily integrated with enterprise business processes. Visual CE also works in conjunction with Report CE®, the world's only report writing tool for Windows CE and Pocket PC handhelds.
