PRESS RELEASE

jSyncManager.org announces first alpha release of the jSyncManager 3.0
Palm Hand-held Synchronization Core Application Set for Java, and the
second beta release of the jSyncManager 3.0 API for Java.

TORONTO, CANADA, June 9th, 2003 - The jSyncManager.org development team
is pleased to announce the first alpha release of the jSyncManager v3.0
Core Application Set.  This suite of applications, written for Sun
Microsystem's Java Runtime Environment, allowing users to perform data
synchronization tasks for PalmOS based hand-helds on a variety of
computing platforms.

"We feel that the jSyncManager v3.0 Core Application Set is the sort of
software corporations looking to manage hand held data within a
heterogeneous environment have been looking for", said Brad Barclay,
lead developer and project administrator for the jSyncManager.org
Project.  "It's easy to configure, stable, and highly scaleable.  It
will run on front office Windows-based systems to synchronize a single
hand held, and on the back-office UNIX or OS/2 based systems
synchronizing potentially hundreds of hand held systems
simultaneously".

The jSyncManager v3.0 Core Application Set comprises two core
applications:  a graphical end-user application, and the MultiPort
Server, which can be set-up to handle the synchronization of multiple
hand-helds simultaneously.

Also announced today was the second beta release for the jSyncManager
v3.0 API, which allows developers to create plug-ins for the Core
Application Set, and to give them the ability to create their own
synchronization applications based on the jSyncManager engine.  "We got
some good feedback on our first beta release from developers looking at
what our code can do.  That, along with our own internal testing
uncovered some issues that we have been able to resolve", said Mr.
Barclay.

The jSyncManager v3.0 Core Application Set is licensed under the GNU
General Public License (GPL).  The jSyncManager v3.0 API is licensed
under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).  Both are
available,
along with full source code, for immediate download through the
jSyncManager web site.
