Metrowerks Unveils a Host of Wireless Development Tools at JavaOne(sm) 
Conference

Company To Provide Consistent, Java(tm) Technology-Based Tool Sets For 
Wireless Device and Smart Card Development

JAVAONE(sm) CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO-June 4, 2001-Metrowerks outlined 
today an array of new Java(tm) technology development tools targeting 
everything from phones and handheld computers to smart cards.  Among the 
new Java technology-based products and technologies Metrowerks is 
announcing this week are CodeWarrior(r) for Wireless: Java Development 
Kit (JDK), and CodeWarrior for Wireless, Java Edition, both designed 
specifically for wireless application development using Java technology.

"Metrowerks' ongoing efforts to support the latest Java APIs is 
translating into a powerful set of tools that all Java application 
developers should look at," said Curtis Sasaki, director, technology and 
evangelism marketing, Sun Microsystems.  "Combined with its expertise in 
the consumer and embedded market, Metrowerks tools allow developers to 
write compelling applications for any device, whether it is a Java 
Card-enabled smart card, a mobile phone running CLDC/MIDP, or 
communicators powered by PersonalJava(tm)."

Metrowerks' Java technology-based tools are built from the ground up to 
support Sun Microsystems' Java(tm) 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), unlike many 
competing products that were designed for the server and then modified 
for the wireless space.

"Metrowerks' goal is to deliver Java technology-based wireless 
development tools that work seamlessly across multiple devices, so 
developers can get their products from concept to deployment more 
quickly and efficiently, with less training required," said John 
Smolucha, vice president of marketing, Metrowerks.  "Furthermore, we 
plan to enable programmers to address the convergence of markets with 
tools that allow for the deployment of wireless applications and content 
across markets such as transportation, networking and gaming."

CodeWarrior for Wireless: Java Development Kit
Metrowerks is working directly with hardware manufacturers to allow 
developers to specifically target the leading Java-enabled wireless 
devices on the market.  As a result, the company is making available the 
CodeWarrior for Wireless: Java Development Kit (JDK), which ships with 
the target hardware in the box.  The first JDKs include either the 
Motorola Accompli A6288 phone or the iDEN i85s phone.  JDKs from other 
leading handset and Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) manufacturers will 
follow.

Designed for fast set-up and installation, the JDKs include CodeWarrior 
software development tools, complete documentation, a Metrowerks 
t-shirt, all the necessary power supplies, plug adapters and cables, and 
one phone.

The CodeWarrior for Wireless JDK for the iDEN i85s phone is available 
now.  The JDK for the Motorola Accompli A6288 phone will be available 
July 31, 2001.  Both JDKs are priced at USD$1499 MSRP (U.S. manufacturer 
suggested retail price), and USD$1099 MSRP for users of CodeWarrior for 
Java, Version 6.0.  The tools are hosted on Windows and Macintosh.

CodeWarrior for Wireless, Java Edition
Expected to ship in August 2001, CodeWarrior for Wireless, Java Edition, 
will include a wealth of integrated features in a single package, so 
developers spend less time piecing together and testing various 
components.

CodeWarrior for Wireless, Java Edition, includes all of the features and 
functionality currently available in CodeWarrior for Java, Version 6.0.  
This includes support for Sun's PersonalJava(tm) and Java(tm) 2 Platform 
Standard Edition (J2SE) standards, as well as comprehensive support for 
the J2ME Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile 
Information Device Profile (MIDP).  Support for CLDC and MIDP allows 
developers to quickly create Java technology-based applications and 
services for CLDC/MIDP-enabled wireless devices such as mobile phones 
and pagers.

In addition to key third-party components such as the PointBase database 
and iSmartGrid, Eliad Technologies' small footprint Java visualization 
technology, CodeWarrior for Wireless, Java Edition includes extensions 
to back-end legacy databases, entry level applications, and high 
security communications.

Metrowerks will also deliver versions of CodeWarrior for Wireless that 
include all of the functionality of the Java Edition with additional 
functionality for PDA and games developers.  CodeWarrior for Wireless, 
Gaming Edition, is expected to ship in September 2001, and CodeWarrior 
for Wireless, PDA Edition, is expected to ship in December 2001.

CodeWarrior for Java Card Platform(tm)
Metrowerks is releasing a beta version of the first integrated software 
development tool set specifically designed to create applications for 
the Java Card technology-based smart card platform.  The tool set will 
help accelerate the delivery of Java Card technology-based applications 
in key industries such as financial services, telecommunications, and 
government.

The CodeWarrior for Java Card platform tools will provide developers 
with a fully integrated environment for developing Java Card 
technology-based applications and will integrate with many of the 
industry's leading card readers and software development kits (SDKs), 
including those from Schlumberger, Gemplus and Oberthur.  The beta 
program will begin later this month.  The tools are expected to ship in 
October 2001.

CodeWarrior for Symbian
In August 2001, Metrowerks expects to deliver a complete set of 
CodeWarrior(r) software development tools for the Symbian Java 
technology platform.  The tools will be geared specifically for 
third-party product, application and services development for 
Symbian-based wireless information devices.  The first CodeWarrior for 
Symbian tools will ship in two versions: CodeWarrior for Symbian, Java 
Basic Edition; and CodeWarrior for Symbian, Java Professional Edition.  
Subsequent product releases will include C/C++ support.

Manufacturers developing devices based on the Symbian platform include 
Ericsson, Kenwood, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Psion, Sanyo and Sony.
