                        ("Synchronica" or the "Company")


           Synchronica to provide push email and synchronisation for

                             IXI Mobile's Ogo device


Agreement heralds unique, affordable mobile email and messaging solution for the
                      mass market based on open standards


London, 31 May - Synchronica plc, an international provider of mobile
synchronisation and device management solutions based on open industry
standards, has licensed its synchronisation software SyncML Gateway to IXI
Mobile Inc., developer of the Ogo(TM) family of mobile messaging solutions for
the mass market. The agreement enables IXI Mobile to offer mobile email and
synchronisation for its Ogo device, brought to market by mobile operators and
Internet Service Providers, and already launched in several countries worldwide.
The Synchronica SyncML Gateway will allow Ogo users to enjoy seamless push
email, mobile calendar and contact synchronisation, enabling Ogo as one of the
first devices to address the mobile email and personal information management
("PIM") needs of the sizable consumer market. This agreement is expected to
assist the Company in meeting analysts' revenue expectations for H2 2006, 2007
and 2008.


Synchronica's SyncML Gateway offers wireless synchronisation of calendar,
address book and email between industry-standard, SyncML-enabled devices and
Microsoft Exchange or Sun Java Enterprise System. It was developed in response
to market demand for industry-standard secure mobile email and PIM
synchronisation. As the SyncML Gateway is based entirely on the open industry
standards SyncML (OMA DS) and Push IMAP, Synchronica believes that this holds it
safe from issues related to software patents.

Use of mobile email is set to expand significantly over the next few years
according to Datamonitor, which estimates that global mobile operator revenues
from mobile email and personal information management are expected to exceed
$600 million by 2009. IXI Mobile developed its end-to-end Ogo offering as a mass
market mobile solution to take advantage of the exponential growth in mobile
messaging and personal information services.

IXI Mobile's Ogo is sold via mobile operators and Internet Service Providers,
and Synchronica will provide the synchronisation solution for calendar and
address book including email push functionality.

Ogo was initially launched in the US by AT&T Wireless (now Cingular Wireless)
and is offered in Switzerland, by Swisscom Mobile, the country's leading mobile
operator, in Turkey, by a leading ISP and part of the country's top
media-entertainment conglomerate, and in Germany, via a partnership between
Vodafone and 1&1, Europe's largest Internet service provider with over five
million customer contracts and 56 million email user accounts bundled with a
flat rate data charge of €9.99 per month.

Carsten Brinkschulte CEO of Synchronica commented: "The agreement with IXI to
use Synchronica's SyncML Gateway for its innovative, affordable Ogo offering
gives the man in the street an affordable and advanced alternative to the
BlackBerry. Together we are well placed to provide device manufacturers, ISPs
and mobile operators with a highly scalable, industry standard synchronisation
and email push solution to take advantage of this opportunity in the consumer
market."

"Mobile operators have every interest in rolling out mobile email solutions to
their networks, and see it as an indispensable element in their competitive
strategy," said Datamonitor analyst Alaa Owaineh. "Mobile email is on the verge
of mass market adoption, and the number of mobilised email accounts will explode
over the next three years."

Amit Haller, Co-Founder, President and CEO of IXI Mobile, said: "We are pleased
to be able to offer a superior email and sync experience on our Ogo devices via
Synchronica's SyncML Gateway solution. Our service provider customers are
continually looking for new ways to deliver value added mobile services, and we
feel that this agreement with Synchronica continues the tradition of delivering
appealing and affordable solutions to the mass market."
