Auteo Media, Inc. Introduces 1st Ever Automotive Internet Site for Wireless Phones and PDAs

26 July 2000

PocketAuto.com Enables Consumers and Dealers to Shop for New and Used Cars from Wireless Devices
  
    SEATTLE - Auteo Media, Inc., a leading provider of point-of-purchase 
marketing and Internet-based services to the automotive industry, today 
announced PocketAuto.com, the first ever Internet site that enables users to 
locate and get quotes on new and used cars via a handheld device.

    "Automotive Internet sites are enjoying great popularity, and the logical
evolution is to bring that information to handheld devices," said Steve Van
Leeuwen, President and CEO of Auteo Media, Inc.  "Given the success of our
wired automotive sites, it's natural that we would be first to market in the
wireless space."

    PocketAuto.com enables consumers to compare cars anywhere, anytime.  They
can comparison shop for a car from their home, office or while driving from
car-lot to car-lot.  Participating dealers can now make their inventory
available to the burgeoning number of owners of wireless Internet ready phones
and devices.

    Using most Internet-ready wireless phones and certain personal digital
assistants (PDAs), consumers or dealers can specify the make and model of car
they are looking for.  PocketAuto.com will return a listing of available
vehicles that match the search criteria, accessing the inventory of about
1 million new and used vehicles from over 6,000 dealerships across the
country.  The shopper can view key information about the vehicle, identify the
location of a local dealership and request a price quote or return phone call.

    PocketAuto.com was developed in conjunction with a leading wireless
communication provider, and employs state-of-the-art technology to enable
connectivity and access to automotive information for dealers and consumers.
