RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, North Carolina, September 8 /PRNewswire/ --

- Grab your smartphone and reclaim your freedom with WalkingHotSpot - 
the anytime, anywhere internet connection

TapRoot Systems, Inc., a leading developer of software solutions for the
smartphone market, today announced that its "always-with-you" WalkingHotSpot
(TM) internet connectivity solution is available for all consumers to 
purchase directly from http://www.walkinghotspot.com.

Initially launched earlier this year, WalkingHotSpot has been
successfully tested for the last five months by thousands of beta-testers on
major wireless networks. The solution simply requires a one-time quick and
easy software download to a Wi-Fi(TM)enabled smartphone. This will allow
users to securely retrieve e-mails, search and browse the Internet on Wi-Fi
enabled devices such as laptops, MP3 players, etc., with no additional
software or configuration required on the connecting device.

"The feedback from the market has been overwhelming! Our beta-testers
have persistently asked when will they be able to buy the full version --
which lets them have up to five devices hooked on simultaneously -- so we're
thrilled to now announce general availability," says Bob Bicksler, CEO of
TapRoot Systems, Inc. "With WalkingHotSpot, users can feel confident they
will have a reliable, secure, inexpensive and readily-available internet
connection wherever and whenever they need it." Bicksler continues.

With WalkingHotSpot, wireless subscribers can forget about data cards,
cables and multiple service plans to get connected because they can
consolidate their connectivity subscriptions and expenses into one economical
solution.

WalkingHotSpot is today available for Wi-Fi enabled smartphones using
Symbian(R) S60 and Windows Mobile(R) operating systems, with support for
other major operating systems coming soon.

day trial and can then purchase a monthly subscription for USD 6.99 or a
special introductory yearly subscription for USD 24.99.
