Press Release Summary: Synchronica Mobile Gateway Selected as 2008 Best Products and
Services Winner in Mobile Solutions


Press Release Body: Santa Clara, Royal Tunbridge Wells, August 12, 2008 --
Synchronica plc announced today that Mobile Gateway has won the 2008 Reader Trust
Award for Best in Mobile Solution from Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley
Communications publication and a world leading publication on technologies and
solutions. This respected annual award honors products and services that represent
the rapidly changing needs and interests of the end-users of technology worldwide.
As part of the tech industry\'s leading global awards program, this year\'s Best
Products and Services were nominated from all over the world.

\"We are honored that Synchronica Mobile Gateway has been recognized for the Best in
Mobile Solution Award, and this distinction reinforces our winning open
industry-standards approach to delivering mobile email to the mass market\", said
Synchronica CMO Nicole Meissner. \"With Mobile Gateway, individuals can easily access
personal and corporate email, calendar, and contact data on the go without having to
purchase an expensive device. This is another important step in our mission to bring
push email and PIM synchronization services to every phone on the planet.\"

Synchronica Mobile Gateway provides carrier-grade push email and synchronization
services for virtually all mass market feature phones and smartphones on the market
today. Based on the dominant open industry standards Push IMAP for mobile email and
SyncML (OMA DS) for contact, calendar, notes, and task synchronization, it works
with the built-in email and synchronization clients found in more than 1.5 billion
phones worldwide. Mobile Gateway was also the first solution to deliver Microsoft
Exchange connectivity to the iPhone and continues to deliver push email and
synchronization services to devices from all major handset manufacturers including
Sony Ericsson, Palm, Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola.

A key advantage unmatched by other products is that Mobile Gateway does not require
any additional software installation on the users\' PC, on the mobile phone, or
firewall modification in the corporate network. Instead, Mobile Gateway is operated
in the data center of the service provider and connects to the user\'s mail server
through a secure connection. The combination of this zero footprint architecture
with the built-in over-the-air provisioning module eases service activation and
improves adoption rates.

\"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in mobile technology are helping
shape better products and services\", says Rake Narang, Chief Editor, Network
Products Guide. \"As workforces become increasingly mobile, consumers are demanding
access to email, calendar, and contact information no matter their location or type
of phone. Synchronica Mobile Gateway solves this problem by delivering a superior
mobile email solution to the global mass market that is both cost-effective and
offers a high-quality user experience.\"
