Runtime and U3 Announce Technology Partnership

CREATE AND DEPLOY FAST AND SECURE APPLICATIONS FOR SMART FLASH DRIVES

June 16, 2006. Monterey, California. Runtime Revolution, Ltd, the makers of
the cross-platform development tool Revolution, and U3, the company that
transforms USB flash drives into the next smart medium for portal
applications, announce a new, cooperative relationship.

"Building for U3 presents a new venue for not only building new classes of
applications for mobile workers, but also an exciting opportunity for
existing Revolution developers to easily recompile their applications for an
entirely new and highly secure platform," said Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime
Revolution, Ltd.

All current Revolution products will gain the ability to not only run off of
U3 smart drives, but also generate applications that automatically comply
with U3's security model, communicate with the U3 Launchpad and handle
contingencies such as safe application shut downs when a drive is suddenly
removed. Just save your existing project and select the U3 options.

Support for building U3-aware applications will be included in release 2.7.3
of Revolution Media or higher. U3-aware applications are currently only
available for the Windows platform.

"The Runtime technology model lends itself to portable application
development since it requires no external components to be installed on a PC
and Runtime executables are incredibly small compared to applications built
with other cross-platform tools," said Kate Purmal, CEO of U3.

U3 smart drives carry and run a person's "digital universe": not only files
but software programs, preferences, PC settings and the means for managing
it all, on any PC. U3 created the smart drive computing platform to allow
secure, portable computing for a mobile workforce. Together U3 and its
partners have pioneered a new kind of personal computing experience in which
consumers can use a variety of PCs and access their familiar computing
environment wherever they go on a tiny U3 smart drive no bigger than a pack
of gum. The U3 smart drive houses all of the information which temporarily
runs on the PC. Nothing is installed on the PC and when the smart drive is
removed the computer retains its original settings.

U3 smart drives are available from Geek SquadR, KingstonRTechnology Company,
Memorex, SanDiskR and VerbatimR, Clever-Stuff disgo classic and Clever-Stuff
busbi, Data Storage Advisors disk2goR, Intuix, Kingston, Memorex, SanDisk,
Verbatim, PQI, Twin MOS, Ativa and I-O DATA.
