Press Release Summary = SACRAMENTO, CA., August 08, 2006 - O3SIS Information
Technology AG, a leading provider of personal mobile applications and Over-the-Air
(OTA) data synchronization (DS) technology for first tier mobile network operators
and O2 (Germany), a leading provider of mobile services and a division of the
Telefónica Group, today announced the simultaneous roll-out of the new O3SIS-powered
"O2 Communication Center" to its subscribers.

Press Release Body = The innovative O2 Communication Center is the home base for O2
(Germany) subscribers to manage their online and mobile data services including
e-mail, contacts, calendars, appointments, and tasks between their mobile phone, the
Web and their PC. It provides transparent over the air and PC data synchronization
as well as backup and restore of data. The new, industry-leading service is powered
by O3SIS' Data Synchronization, Backup and Restore, SyncML, and Push Mail products.
The service supports over 150 handsets, Smart phones and PDA's using standard
built-in and browser applications:

"Mobile network operators have faced several challenges implementing and marketing
new data convergence services to the masses." said Iain Gillott, president of iGR, a
research consultancy focused on the wireless & mobile industry. "An operator that
is able to offer a pre-packaged, reliable, and cost-effective solution will likely
find a hungry and eager audience in its subscriber base."

O2 (Germany) subscribers now enjoy more productive data and contact management as
well as peace of mind. Subscribers can easily experience the benefits of data
convergence and manage their personal data on their PC, their mobile phone and web
organizer - eliminating the need to maintain multiple sources of multiple data. All
data is kept up to date and instantly transferred between PC, phone, and Web, with a
simple push of a button.

"With over 10 million subscribers, O2 (Germany) is one of the leading network
operators in the European market," said Dirk Dörre, CEO and CTO at O3SIS. "Our Mail
& Messaging, Data Synchronization, Push Mail, and Backup and Restore products
integrate, for the first time, the full range of personal data services O2 (Germany)
and its subscribers need on one platform. This industry-leading move provides O2
(Germany) customers with enhanced value added services which will ultimately
increase customer loyalty and reduce overall churn."

"O3SIS met our advanced and unique requirements to deliver over-the-air data
synchronization and e-mail push technology for the consumer market best. O3SIS'
all-in-one platform allowed us to deliver a seamless and unique customer
experience," said Wolfgang Schmirl, Senior Product Manager at O2 (Germany). "The
professional services team provided unparalleled expertise and high flexibility. The
proven experience and day-to-day dependability helped us meet deadlines and
budgetary requirements including a complex migration of about 1 million mailboxes to
the new system without missing a beat."


O3SIS SyncML (OMA DS) data synchronization and Backup and Restore products are key
components of the company's Unified Mobile Applications (UMA) platform, which
provides Over-the-Air data synchronization, a full-featured address book, mobile
device backup/restore, and mobile personal information management (PIM)
functionality including consumer push e-mail. UMA enables operators to roll out
multiple value-added services from a single, high-performance platform,
significantly reducing system complexity and maintenance costs. O3SIS' UMA products
support Over-the-Air synchronization on more than 150 different devices from all
leading handset vendors.

This is the first commercial deployment that provides consumers with a complete
array of e-mail access utilizing a variety of push mail technologies. Users now can
receive e-mail and e-mail notifications via MMS, SMS or OMA DS1.2 using their
existing mail accounts such as POP3 and IMAP4. The O3SIS Mail to MMS push works on
any MMS enabled phone which allows most devices to utilize push mail without the
need for a new handset.

The O2 (Germany)/O3SIS deployment additionally allows users to manage and maintain
their personal calendar online to schedule appointments, anniversaries, birthday
notifications, and other important data, which will automatically push to their
phone and desktop providing instant reminders as events arise. The new solution
also utilizes the user's PC and their existing PIM such as Outlook, Outlook Express,
or Lotus Notes to sync data between their handset, the Web, and their PC.

Over-the-air Backup and Restore service safeguards user data such as addresses,
appointments and e-mails on the phone in case it is lost or stolen. Users can now
restore all of their data and content to their new phone seamlessly and
transparently, while also enabling O2 (Germany) to retain a consistent usage/revenue
stream.
