Johannesburg, 14 Sept 2005

Leaf Wireless and i-mate, the specialists in Microsoft Windows Mobile devices and applications, are pleased to announce the advent of a new level in high-speed mobile experience with the launch of the i-mate JASJAR.

This ultimate device allows users to enjoy powerful Internet browsing, dynamic multimedia features and diverse connectivity options for links to the things you care about. The i-mate JASJAR offers the most advanced set of features yet including a full VGA screen, 520MHz Intel processor and 128MB of permanent memory, built-in and Skype Internet telephony software*.

All this is wrapped in an original swivel-clamshell form factor that sports a full QWERTY keyboard and brilliant VGA screen. The Windows Mobile 5.0 upgraded software means that your information is safely stored on the device should the battery become depleted.

Founder and Chief Executive of i-mate, Jim Morrison, commented: "At i-mate, we operate at the forefront of mobile technology development, so that we can offer our customers cutting-edge devices which are packed with value-added applications. Today`s individuals are looking for a high-speed versatile device to give them an edge, and the i-mate JASJAR is as good as it gets."

This tri-band GSM/GPRS device with WiFi and Bluetooth also connects to 3G (UMTS) mobile networks, automatically switching to the best network mode available. Users can benefit from video conferencing and multimedia with dual cameras, built-in flash, large VGA-screen and dual loudspeakers for stereo sound and are able to send photos and recorded videos quickly when connected to a 3G network.

Designed to offer flexible multiple-connectivity business functions as well as the ability to enjoy dynamic multimedia without the need for multiple devices, this multi-utility Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 powered mobile offers PC applications, a 1.3 megapixel camera/video, a gaming console and an MP3 player, to name just a few. The 180-degree swivel screen design means you have the versatility to use the i-mate JASJAR either as a traditional PDA similar to a notebook style, or in clamshell mode to be converted into a virtual miniature laptop.

In clamshell mode, the screen automatically adjusts to landscape and the large and dazzling 3.6-inch 640x480 VGA transflective screen is ideal for viewing and working on documents, managing e-mail or simply browsing the Internet and memory expansion is possible via the SD card slot. Picture and Video Viewer, Microsoft PowerPoint Mobile and ClearVue PDF Viewers are also now included on the device in addition to Outlook Mobile, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger, Word Mobile and Excel Mobile.

The i-mate JASJAR will be available from October.
