NEO provides a new device option for existing customers while
simultaneously opening new market opportunities for both Psion Teklogix and
its channel partners. Further, after a very successful 13-year production run
of its Workabout MX, Psion Teklogix is able to provide this customer base
with an excellent replacement product and a complementary addition to Psion
Teklogix' portfolio of class-leading devices.

NEO takes full advantage of Microsoft Windows(R) CE.NET 5.0 to integrate
a number of advanced data capture and communications functions that increase
worker productivity and connect users with their critical applications
whether in the store, warehouse or remote job site. These functions include
an integrated imager or laser scanner, and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
and Bluetooth(R) wireless capabilities. In addition, NEO leverages Psion
Teklogix' PTX Connect(TM) application to deliver Voice over IP (VoIP) with
discrete Push-to-Talk for real-time voice communications as well as Instant
and Text Messaging functions. NEO can be easily expanded to incorporate new
technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), based on a
user's future application requirements. NEO's rugged engineering and compact,
stylish design make it ideally suited for a number of applications including:

-- Retail Front of the Store: mobile stock checking, price checking,
       merchandising
    -- Light Duty Warehousing: inventory tracking, stocking, back-dock
       shipping and receiving
    -- Utilities: meter reading, surveying, parking enforcement, asset
       tracking
    -- Courier and Parcel Delivery: receipt acknowledgement
    -- Ticket Verification: theater and sporting events

"NEO's bright, high-resolution colour display is ergonomically angled
towards the user to make it easier and more comfortable to use, avoiding the
'scan, tilt and squint' viewing of other devices. With a host of rugged
performance and ergonomic features, NEO complements our broad line of rugged
handheld computers," said Barry Boyd, Senior Product Manager, Psion Teklogix,
Inc.

Small and compact, NEO weighs just 275 grams (9.7 ounces) and measures
16.5 cm (6.5 inches) long by 6.4 cm (2.5 inches) wide by 3.8 cm (1.5 inches)
high. Despite its small size and stylish design, NEO maintains Psion
Teklogix' hallmark ruggedness and is designed to withstand demanding customer
usage environments with an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance as well
as an ability to withstand 26 drops from 1.2 meters (4 feet) to concrete. It
also has an easily removable pistol grip that simply clips on and off for
quick transition between different data acquisition activities. In order to
support different application requirements, NEO is available with 48-key
alphanumeric or 26-key numeric keyboards.

"NEO provides Psion Teklogix and our channels the opportunity to reach
into a host of worldwide markets from retail and light-duty warehousing to
courier and event ticket verification. We developed it with the assistance of
our channel partners, distributors and customers to make NEO the most
competitive product in the market with the right attributes that make our
customers' mobile workers more productive," said Rob Vandervecht, Vice
President Marketing, Psion Teklogix, Inc.
