KeySync Keyboard for Palm Products Being Introduced to Over One Million Palm Users
PHOENIX — October 26, 1999 — iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB:IBIZ), a designer and manufacturer of accessories for products of Palm Computing, a 3Com (Nasdaq:COMS) company, announced today that it is participating in the Software and Resource Guide for the Palm Computing(R) Platform. The guide is published by Pennwell Publishing and is distributed in the packaging of all new Palm Computing platform products, as well as mailed to all of the existing registered users and subscribers. "This is the first step for us in making our unique KeySync(TM) keyboard a household name. Our market research shows that many Palm users wish they had a more traditional alternative to the standard power writing software and stylus when it comes to data entry for their Palm devices.
This should create a very strong demand for a product like KeySync(TM). Users can now easily input information through a compact keyboard, just like they would on their desktop or notebook computer. Even though the initial response has already been good, this software and resource guide will put KeySync(TM) in front of over one million more Palm users, the majority of the active Palm user population. That is a fantastic achievement for iBIZ," says Ken Schilling, president and CEO of iBIZ Technology Corp. KeySync(TM) is a high quality keyboard that works with all Palm(TM) connected organizers and carries Palm Computing's Platinum Solution Provider designation.
It is a small, standard layout keyboard designed to provide users a data input alternative to Graffiti(R) power writing software. IBIZ s unique KeySync(TM) is compatible with all Palm devices, including the Palm III(TM) family of organizers, and the Palm V(TM) and Palm VII(TM) connected organizers. Featuring the exclusive KeyLink(TM) software, KeySync(TM) integrates the look and function of a standard keyboard with shortcuts to all applications, virtually eliminating the need for any stylus input. iBIZ (www.ibizcorp.com) is a 20-year-old company that has built a reputation for providing superior technology solutions for the limited workspace environment.
