Mark/Space's Missing Sync for Tapwave Enables Synchronization
Between Zodiac Handhelds and Mac OS X Desktops

April 2, 2004 - Los Gatos, California - Mark/Space, Inc., makers of the
award-winning Missing Sync software family, announces the availability of
The Missing Sync for Tapwave(R), enabling users to connect and synchronize
information between a Zodiac(TM) console and a Mac computer running Mac OS
X v10.2.8 or later via USB or Bluetooth.

Users of the Tapwave Zodiac, an entertainment-focused device based on Palm
OS, will not only enjoy fast synchronization of files between their
handhelds and Macs, but will be able to benefit from a specially-designed
Game Installer developed for games sold through the Tapwave store
(www.tapwave.com). While many games designed for the Zodiac only include
installers for Windows PC users wrapped in a .zip file, the Missing Sync
Game Installer allows Mac users to drag-and-drop these or any .zip file for
installation on the Zodiac. It also offers a High Score conduit that
enables users to share high scores over the Internet.

"The Missing Sync for Tapwave is an important development that will make it
much easier for Mac users to get the most out of their Zodiacs," said Byron
Connell, Tapwave's co-founder and senior vice president of marketing. "Mac
users now have one more reason to choose the Zodiac for mobile
entertainment and their on-the-go lifestyle needs."

Missing Sync for Tapwave leverages the rich audio/video capabilities of the
Zodiac, making it simple to move music, audio and digital picture files
between iPhoto or iTunes on the Mac and either of the handheld's expansion
card slots. To further enable users to organize and display photos on their
Zodiac consoles, Missing Sync for Tapwave includes SplashData's acclaimed
SplashPhoto image viewer.

"Tapwave has created waves with Zodiac, providing an unparalleled mobile
entertainment experience," said Brian Hall, president of Mark/Space. "Mac
users who love great multi-media action and having music, games, news,
photos and the information they need to access at a moment's notice at
their fingertips anytime/anywhere, will need look no further than Zodiac
and The Missing Sync for Tapwave."

Zodiac users will now be able to significantly increase their handheld's
functionality as a source for information and entertainment, including the
ability to tie into their Mac's Internet connection to download emails and
browse Web pages. Missing Sync for Tapwave further supports AvantGo
synchronization, resulting in quick downloads of news, weather, sports,
stock quotes, maps, and movie listings, among others.

Additional key features of The Missing Sync for Tapwave include:

* The ability to synchronize calendar events, addresses, memos and to-do
items with the Palm Desktop software, plus synchronization of iCal(TM)
calendar events, to-do items, and Mac OS Address Book contact information
after installing iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit, both available from
www.apple.com/isync;

* Synchronization support for Mac applications with existing third party
Palm OS conduits (available separately with products such as Pocket
Quicken, FileMaker Mobile, Entourage, Meeting Maker, etc.).

* Desktop mounting, enables users to transfer files between the Mac and
Zodiac's two expansion card slots, essentially using the Zodiac as a card
reader or for portable storage.

* The ability to download email messages to any Palm OS email client (not
included), read and reply while offline, then connect later to send and
receive.
