Sports fans score with Lexmark's new News & Sports SmartSolution

Johannesburg, 22 Jul 2010

Lexmark International, Inc (NYSE: LXK) has announced two new News & Sports SmartSolutions, ESPN (the worldwide leader in sports) and BBC (the largest broadcasting organisation in the world), which will ensure global sports fans and “news junkies” remain informed.

People will be able to view the latest sporting information from ESPN directly on their all-in-one (AIO) printer's touch-screen.

For those interested in staying up-to-date on the European economy or learning about the iPhone 4, the BBC SmartSolution will serve that purpose directly from the touch-screen as well.

For a brief demo, check out the video on the SmartSolutions blog: http://rcpt.yousendit.com/901733437/b530f058512d6028be9dc446ea834f19.

These two new SmartSolutions, along with existing solutions for MSNBC and Apple Hot News, enable one-touch access to all current events - news, sports and weather. Also, with Lexmark's RSS feed SmartSolution, users can choose their favourite Web site and turn it into an RSS feed that displays the real-time news they are most interested in, directly on their touch-screen.

WHY: Office conversations that once occurred in the break-room are now happening around Lexmark's AIOs, where users are fed up-to-the-moment news and sports scores from their touch-screen.

WHEN: The ESPN and BBC SmartSolutions are available for free and immediate download at smartsolutions.lexmark.com for the Lexmark Platinum, Pinnacle, Prestige and Interact Web-connected touch-screen AIOs.
