                      Synchronica Wins 4 Mobile Star Awards



Tunbridge Wells, October 31, 2006 - Synchronica plc (AIM:SYNC), a pioneering
vendor of mobile data management and synchronization solutions based on open
standards, has announced that it has won three Gold and one Silver Mobile Star
AwardsTM from MobileVillage*.


The fifth annual Mobile Star AwardsTM aim to honour and promote the best
companies, products, deployments, and leaders in mobile and wireless technology.
Winners are chosen by subscribers to Go Mobile*, MobileVillage's free online
newsletter sent to technology executives, mobile professionals, IT managers and
developers. MobileVillage is the 14-year leader in the market development and
news services about mobile technology.


Synchronica SyncML Gateway has been ranked as a Gold Star product in both the
mobile email category and the enterprise middleware category. In the mobile
device management category, Synchronica's Mobile Manager was voted as a silver
star product. CEO of Synchronica, Carsten Brinkschulte, a pioneer of SyncML
client server software and an active member of the Open Mobile Association
(OMA), has also been voted to receive the Gold Mobile Star award for his role as
a visionary in the enterprise mobile software space.


Synchronica SyncML Gateway middleware delivers push email and synchronize
calendar and contact information to any SyncML compliant mobile phone. This
provides a "BlackBerry like" experience to business users, without restricting
them to a single type of device. SyncML Gateway also delivers mobile email to
consumers through an OEM agreement with iXi Mobile, the manufacturer of the
mass-market mobile Email device "Ogo".


Silver award winner Synchronica Mobile Manager, provides businesses with a
complete self care facility for the management of their Smartphones, with the
ability to remotely lock and wipe data from any phone that has been
decommissioned, lost or stolen. If a Smartphone is stolen, end users can even
opt to activate Mobile Manager's Scream feature over the air, to cause an
embarrassing high pitched wail to be emitted from the device.


"The Mobile Star Awards program has grown along with the mobile industry," says
MobileVillage Editor Gary Thayer. "This year we saw hundreds of entries in about
60 categories and almost 1,000 Go Mobile* readers took the time to cast votes."


"We are delighted to receive this award", commented Carsten Brinkschulte of
Synchronica. "It is particularly gratifying to know that our products have been
chosen by readers of Go Mobile*, who are active users of mobile technology and
knowledgeable about the range products available to them for their mobile email
and device management requirements."
