   Mobile Gateway 3.0 continues to support widest range of feature phones and
                            Smartphones on the market
                                        
Tunbridge Wells - 11 July, 2007 - Synchronica plc, an international provider of
mobile synchronization and device management solutions, today announced that
Mobile Gateway 3.0 supports over-the-air synchronization between Microsoft
Exchange and the newly launched Apple iPhone. This will allow mobile operators
and service providers to offer mobile synchronization to business users and
prosumers, enabling them to receive corporate e-mail on their iPhones without
having to ask their IT manager to open the firewall or install additional
software.

Mobile Gateway seamlessly integrates with the corporate IT infrastructure and
does not require the enterprise to expose IMAP and SMTP in their Exchange
servers or install additional connectors - issues that often raise security
concerns with IT administrators. Instead, Mobile Gateway uses Microsoft's secure
Outlook Web Access (OWA) to retrieve e-mail from the corporate Exchange server,
a service enabled by many enterprises to provide users with access to corporate
e-mail from home or while traveling.

Unlike other solutions Mobile Gateway 3.0 delivers e-mails directly to the
built-in e-mail client of the Apple iPhone. Users will be able to benefit from
the outstanding user experience of the built-in e-mail client of the iPhone and
its tight integration with the phone's address book.

The iPhone is the latest device to be supported by Synchronica's Mobile Gateway
3.0 middleware, which enables synchronization with a wide range of Smartphones
and mass-market feature phones from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and other leading
manufacturers. Synchronica believes that the iPhone will add momentum to the
prosumer and consumer mobile e-mail phenomenon, which industry analyst
visiongain predicts will grow exponentially to reach 36 million consumer mobile
email accounts by 2008, with this figure predicted to rise to 184 million by
2012.

Commenting on the decision to support Microsoft Exchange synchronization with
the Apple iPhone, Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica said, "The iPhone is
a very attractive Smartphone, appealing to both the consumer and prosumer
market. However, IT Managers are not going to permit their executives to
synchronize a device that requires them to punch holes in the corporate
firewall. Mobile Gateway already supports synchronization with Microsoft
Exchange, but does not require firewall modification or any software to be
installed in the corporate network, so this won't be an issue. From a carrier's
perspective, we are significantly expanding the reach of the iPhone into the
business user and prosumer segments."

Synchronica was one of the first synchronization software vendors to combine
both SyncML (OMA DS), which is optimized for synchronization of calendar and
contacts, and Push-IMAP (LEMONADE), which is optimized for mobile e-mail.
Millions of mobile phones support e-mail over IMAP, but IMAP does not support
calendar or contact synchronization. Thus, combining Push IMAP for mobile e-mail
with SyncML (OMA DS) for synchronization of calendar and contacts allows
Synchronica to support the widest range of devices and the most popular content
types.

Synchronica's Mobile Gateway provides carrier-grade Push e-mail and
synchronization services for both consumers and business users. Serving
consumers, it includes back-end support for POP3 and IMAP, connecting to popular
mail services such as AOL or Yahoo. For business users, it provides a unique
"zero footprint" architecture where users simply register their devices with
Mobile Gateway and instantly start to receive Push e-mail on their devices--no
connectors behind the firewall are required. It includes built-in support for
Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, and Sun JES, thereby reaching the majority of
business user mail systems.
