                    Synchronica announces Mobile Manager 1.3

          - Enhanced Mobile Device Management for Enterprises and ASPs-


Tunbridge Wells, UK - 28 November 2006 - Synchronica Plc, an international
provider of mobile device management and synchronisation solutions based on open
standards, has today announced the general availability of Mobile Manager 1.3.

Mobile Manager 1.3 extends existing support for Windows Mobile and Pocket PC
devices to include support for Series 60, 80 and 90 Symbian Smartphones. The
latest version of the software also offers a richer set of management functions
to support new device features such as the latest Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU
updates, with advanced security, device querying and reporting capability.


Specifically designed as a self-care facility for businesses, to enable them to
configure, manage and secure employees' Smartphones over-the-air (OTA), Mobile
Manager can also be used by mobile operators and application service providers
(ASPs) to manage subscribers' phones. Mobile Manager 1.3 expands the number of
mobile phone settings that can be remotely configured and queried and increases
the level of detail for reporting purposes. Designed to manage individual
phones, or user groups in large hierarchical environments, Mobile Manager 1.3
has a simple Graphical User Interface with step-by-step Wizard enabling
administrators of all levels to manage a fleet of devices, without intensive
training. .


Mobile Manager 1.3 allows administrators to query devices and display parameters
in a web browser for remote diagnosis. Administrators can now remotely set
802.11 WLAN settings; remove specified email accounts or web favourites from a
device or group of devices, retrieve contact lists and extend the list of
emergency numbers that can be called if the device is locked, to include a
corporate help desk number for example. Administrators can also remotely check
whether a device has received a software update file and schedule OTA software
updates to minimise disruption. A key new security feature is the ability to set
policy for Mobile Manager's existing Lock and Wipe feature, which can be
triggered from the device by SIM changes, to protect corporate data held on
mobile devices if they are stolen.


Mobile Manager 1.3 is free to existing Mobile Manager customers. Synchronica has
ensured that the upgrade to 1.3 will be as seamless as possible, enabling
customers to maintain their device management service and retain existing
databases and user data, whilst gaining the additional feature set. The enhanced
device querying feature will also report back to the administrator if any
upgrade issues occur.


Commenting on the announcement Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica said:
"Mobile Manager now delivers an even stronger proposition for enterprises or
ASPs to deliver powerful mobile data management and security capabilities to a
much broader range of Smartphones."


In addition to existing support for most Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
devices, Mobile Manager 1.3 extends support to the following Windows Mobile
Smartphones: iMate SP3i; SP5m; SP5; O2 XDA SP; Orange c500; c550; c600; Samsung
SGH 320 and the T-Mobile SDA II. The following Pocket PC devices are also
supported: IMate JASIAM; PDA N; JASIAR; K-JAM; O2 XDA Exec; XDA Mini; XDA 11s;
Orange M2000; M6000;T-Mobile MDA Compact 2; MDA Pro; Vodafone VPA Compact;
