Device manufacturers and service providers seeking to deploy Android
solutions can now benefit from SEVEN's experience launching literally
hundreds of devices and global messaging services worldwide. SEVEN has
developed best practices for success, resulting in near 100% adoption of
mobile messaging services on specific devices.

SEVEN on the Android platform will provide the proven robust features
that have resulted in other highly successful messaging services including:

- Ultra-simple activation: same easy, two-click activation
      that's available today from SEVEN on many devices can also be
      pre-configured for Android so that end-users only have to enter their
      email address and password.
    - Support for business email: provides mobile subscribers with
      seamless and secure access to Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino
      corporate email, which represents 80% of the corporate email services in
      use without installing any software behind the firewall.
    - Easy access to popular Internet email: consumers have instant
      access to multiple accounts from popular providers such as AOL, Gmail,
      Microsoft Live Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo! and other internet email providers 
      as needed to support local markets.
    - Integrated contact management and search: for contacts stored on
      the device as well as remote contact lists from personal address books
      and corporate directories.
    - Robust calendar support: ability to edit, delete and add
      appointments from personal or business calendars including Microsoft
      Exchange.

"We are experiencing strong demand from both carriers and device
manufacturer partners for Android solutions," said David Ratner, Senior Vice
President, Engineering and Delivery. "We see tremendous opportunity to
improve on what is currently available and provide richer, more functional
Android devices to end-users around the world. Support of Android is a
natural evolution of our strategy to enable mobile network operators, service
providers and handset makers to offer a superior messaging experience across
a wide range of mobile devices."

SEVEN is primarily deployed by carriers and enterprises as a Software as
a Service (SaaS) solution with a robust backend solution that easily
integrates with other communication systems. Starting in Q2, users with
compatible phones will be able to download the Android Mobile email client
from the SEVEN community site at http://community.seven.com or directly from
the Android market.
