Snoqualmie, WA, August 22,2000 - Amiga Inc. is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Ruksun Software Technologies to bring its award winning Messenger Force and IMAP Force products to Amiga. Ruksun Software Technologies is one of the pioneering companies in the development of Internet and Connectivity application software for mobile and wireless devices that run the Windows CE, Palm OS and EPOC platforms. As key players in the mobile and wireless computing industry, Ruksun's portfolio consists of end-user mobile applications, innovative Internet-based technologies, wireless client implementation and wireless messaging platforms.

The first two applications being developed by Ruksun for Amiga include award winning IMAP Force and Messenger Force.

Messenger Force is Ruksun's Instant Messaging client that is device agnostic and works on all the popular hand held devices powered by Windows CE, Psion devices using the EPOC OS and Palm hand-helds that run the Palm OS. A soon-to-be-released version will allow Instant Messaging via cell phones.

Messenger Force, like other popular instant messaging clients, allows for devices to be notified when other contact list are online such that they may communicate in real time via Instant Messages. Messenger Force is a small footprint, comprehensive messaging product that supports authenticated user logon, auto notification, contact list management, status management, and access permission, as well as asynchronous and real time messages and notifications.

IMAP Force will be the first email client for Amiga that will support the IMAP4 protocol for online access to mail. IMAP Force is designed to allow mobile users to quickly and selectively browse through their messages without having to download either the large message or large attachments. IMAP Force allows users to send mail messages via SMTP, and supports Quoted Printable encoding and non-ASCII text in headers. IMAP Force includes POP3 functionality allowing users to access their POP3 accounts and to perform simple mail operations.

"I have followed the Ruksun development efforts for many years, and it is really exciting to be able to include their great skills and great products in the Amiga Family," said Bill McEwen, President/CEO of Amiga, Inc. "Ruksun products will be great additions for our OEM partners, and the Amiga Community."

Randall Hughes, Vice President, Sales and Strategic Alliances at Amiga Inc. noted, "We are thrilled to include best of breed products as Messenger Force and IMAP Force to Amiga. We are equally happy to see our platform validated by a partner who has distinguished itself on other platforms. We know that Ruksun, like our other partners, will enjoy the binary compatibility value proposition of Amiga and continue to innovate rather than rewriting existing applications."

Rajkumar Chainani, CEO at Ruksun Software says, "Ruksun is pleased to partner with Amiga and extend our popular products to support this platform. We believe that the Amiga OS lends itself to tremendous possibilities for connected digital appliances and non-PC devices. As time goes by, Ruksun will continue to create revolutionary products for this revolutionary platform."
