expanded of its line of simple and affordable e-mail devices and service with
the introduction of the PocketMail(R) Composer(TM), the company's latest
handheld e-mail device.  The PocketMail Composer is both a pocket-sized
organizer and an "e-mail appliance" that allows consumers to send and receive
e-mail, anytime, anywhere, over virtually any telephone without the need for a
phone jack, cradle or cable.  Past models were compatible with landline or
analog cellular phones.  This new product now works with any type of mobile
phone as well.
    The PocketMail Composer makes sending and receiving e-mail messages as
easy as dialing an 800 number, holding the device against the telephone
handset and pushing just one button.  The Composer can also be used to send
faxes.  The battery-powered PocketMail Composer is about the size of many
standard organizers and features:

    -- A complete keyboard
    -- Organizer functions including address book, scheduling calendar,
       calculator, memo pad and to-do list
    -- E-mail management features including message previews and organizing
       message folders

    "For our largest and most mobile markets -- Rivers, boaters and truckers
and travelers -- the PocketMail service has proved to be an invaluable means
of communication," said Joe Katz, vice president of marketing at PocketMail
Inc.  "The PocketMail Composer's compatibility with just about any phone
anywhere makes it a reliable link to home, friends and family from almost
anyplace in the world."

$14.95 monthly PocketMail Service are available in specially-priced discount
bundles with 3 months or 12 months of service.
    PocketMail Service includes an e-mail address, unlimited e-mail, plus the
option to send faxes at a small additional charge.  The service can also be
coordinated with most existing Internet e-mail accounts and corporate e-mail
system.  Copies of e-mail sent to those accounts can be read on the PocketMail
Composer and the Composer can reply using any return e-mail address.
