                        ("Synchronica" or "the Company")
                Sun Microsystems accepts Synchronica Technology

Synchronica plc (AIM: SYNC.LN), the mobile synchronisation and device management
company, is pleased to announce that it has received acceptance from Sun
Microsystems Inc, the leading global supplier of network computing solutions,
servers, storage, software and services, for the software components of its
Mobile Gateway product agreed in the contract signed in August.

Synchronica delivered the software components to Sun on schedule in November
2007. Having accepted the software, Sun will pay, in three equal instalments in
February, July and October 2008, an initial licence fee of US $1.8m for the
first major version of the software and where applicable further licence fees on
a per user per annum basis.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica said: "We are delighted to have
received Sun's acceptance of all the licensed components of Mobile Gateway. It
is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our developers that we
fulfilled our initial contractual obligations to Sun and delivered the first
major version of our software to them on time within the agreed framework. We
now look forward to a long and productive relationship with Sun as we work
together even more closely in the future."
Under the terms of the agreement concluded in August, Sun will licence
Synchronica Mobile Gateway's core SyncML technology to enable over-the-air
synchronisation of the Sun Java Communications Suite with any mobile device
supporting the industry standard. SyncML is the dominant standard incorporated
into more than 1.5 billion devices from all leading manufacturers including
Nokia, SonyEricsson and Motorola. The Sun Java Communications Suite occupies a
strong niche in the communication and collaboration market, providing services
for major global enterprises and mobile operators, and is reported to power more
than 240 million mailboxes worldwide.
