Kamada will deliver the opening keynote address at this year's Open Source in 
Mobile (OSiM 2007) conference in Madrid, Spain from September 18 to 19. The 
keynote, Mobile Linux in the Era of Convergence, will discuss the benefits of

standard, Dr. Kamada is now leading the mobile industry towards the 
convergence of next generation networks with multimedia services and 
converged devices.

OSiM is the world's premier conference for mobile Linux and open source
technologies. According to a recently-published study by ABI Research, over
the next five years, Linux is expected to be the fastest growing smartphone
OS and is forecast to account for nearly 31% of all smart devices in the
market by 2012. Highlighting this explosive growth, OSiM 2007 brings together
top-level executives from around the world representing the full spectrum of
the mobile Linux ecosystem.

ACCESS will showcase support for mobile Linux from third parties, silicon
vendors and ACCESS Connect Ecosystem (ACE) partners with demonstrations of
ACCESS Linux Platform(TM) running on different mobile hardware platforms as
well as third-party software developed for the three environments supported
by ACCESS Linux Platform: Java(TM), Garnet(TM) VM and native Linux.

Demonstrations will include Orange Container Program applications, such
as Bluestreak(TM) Technology's MachBlue(TM) platform for iTV and mobile
phones. Bluestreak's MachBlue software platform powers Orange World TV, a
rich-media mobile television portal that delivers over 50 channels across 3G
and EDGE networks.
