1. NEWS: Mark/Space Announces Missing Sync for Pocket PC 1.0.4
   <http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_pocketpc.html>

New Version Provides Support for Additional Languages,
More Handhelds, and Multiple Users

LOS GATOS, Calif.--May 12, 2004--Mark/Space, Inc., makers of the
award-winning Missing Sync(TM) software, today announced the immediate
availability of Missing Sync for Pocket PC version 1.0.4. Missing Sync for
Pocket PC offers superior integration and ease of use by employing Apple's
native iSync technology to synchronize information between a Pocket PC
handheld and a Mac running Mac OS X.

A free update for registered owners, version 1.0.4 is now available in a
multi-language installer with English, French, German, and Japanese language
software, each complete with localized documentation.

With this latest release, Mark/Space has added support for several new
handhelds including Carrier Devices' i-mate Pocket PC, O2's XDA II, and
Toshiba's e400 and e800 models. The Missing Sync for Pocket PC supports more
than 100 devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC edition and
Pocket PC 2002, an impressive list that now includes all currently shipping
Dell Axim, HP iPAQ, and Toshiba Pocket PC handhelds.

Also new in this release is the ability to download drivers for new
handhelds from within the software. "With the explosion of new handhelds now
coming to market, it's important for us to offer prompt support for the
latest hardware," stated Ken Freeman, product manager at Mark/Space. "With
this new release, our customers can easily update the Missing Sync's drivers
with a simple menu command in the application. This feature is a great
example of Mark/Space responding directly to customer needs."

With version 1.0.4, The Missing Sync for Pocket PC adds support for multiple
users in Mac OS X. This capability allows each individual user to easily
synchronize his or her data with a single Mac, improving usability for
offices and households where multiple handheld users share a single Mac.

electronic software download at <http://www.markspace.com/pocketpc.html>.
Existing users can download the free update at

PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS

   <http://store.markspace.com/>

Mark/Space is proud to announce its brand new online store. The new store
offers an improved user interface and a more streamlined flow from browsing
products through completing a purchase.

For example, customers asked us to speed up the purchase process. Before,
shoppers were forced to wait for an email containing their license code and
a download URL. Not anymore! At checkout time, customers are immediately
presented with a license code and a link to begin downloading their
software, even for purchases of boxed product. Thanks to this change,
customers can start using their new software right away.
