CAMBRIDGE, MA, U.S.A. - November 30, 2004 -- SYWARE, Inc., announced a diverse, international panel of industry experts has awarded SYWARE with Pocket PC magazine's "Best Software Award 2004" in the database category. SYWARE prevailed over DDH Software's HanDBase and PocketSOFT.ca's abcDB Professional Database to win the annual award. SYWARE solutions enable small-to-medium business (SMB) and individual users to create and deploy applications 10x faster than other market alternatives. SYWARE allows users in a wide variety of market sectors to mobilize business information between the enterprise and the field to rapidly convert PC or paper-based processes into fully mobile applications that can be deployed on any Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Windows CE device. Business or user-specific data can be downloaded, collected, displayed, modified and automatically synchronized, without programming.

Over 80 Pocket PC magazine experts from around the world judged 581 Windows Mobile products in 100 Pocket PC, Smartphone and Developer categories to determine finalists and winners. The annual Pocket PC magazine Best Software Awards helps users select software that best suits their Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone needs by honoring companies that produce outstanding software.

"SYWARE is honored to receive Pocket PC magazine's Best Software Award 2004," said Sy Danberg, President, SYWARE, Inc.

We believe this year's award further validates our position as a leader in the marketplace," Danberg added.

"Visual CE offers a rapid and stable path to our mobile healthcare application that is 10x faster than traditional development products such as Visual Basic or Visual C++," said Chuck Colley, President, Biologix-IT. "I can choose from a list of command sequences for functions like sorting, filtering, or communications. I don't have to write all the code behind the command buttons. It's already done in Visual CE," Colley added.
