SAN JOSE, Calif., PalmSource Mobile Summit and DevCon, May 24, 2005 — At the PalmSource Mobile Summit & DevCon 2005, LandWare introduced Pocket Quicken 2.5 for Palm Powered™ devices and smartphones. This completely re–written version of the award–winning, easy–to–use personal money management application remains the official companion product and only software that currently enables direct synchronization with Quicken 2005. Consumers can instantly mobilize their financial data with a single operation of enabling on–the–go access to account details, credit limits, transaction histories, exchange rates and more HotSync® manager. Pocket Quicken's rank as the number–one selling handheld application for the past three years1 is testament to its superior functionality and design.

"LandWare has once again delivered a robust mobile companion for Quicken users that offers seamless integration for our Windows and Macintosh customers," remarked Serdar Akin, Senior Project Manager for third–party implementations at Intuit. "By listening and responding to customer feedback, LandWare has greatly improved upon their already world class product."

"We believe Pocket Quicken has leveraged the legendary ease–of–use of Palm OSÒ to create a compelling user experience to manage financial transactions with a Palm Powered device," said Larry Berkin, director of developer marketing, PalmSource. "It is a lifestyle extension in today's digital fast–moving age which helps users stay on top of their financial standing while on the road and saves time and hassle by synchronizing the data to a users desktop once they are back home."

Automatic Configuration Adapts the Program to an Individual's Needs
For the first time, Pocket Quicken presents a series of simple to answer profiling dialogs when the program is first run. The consumer is now able to have the program automatically configure itself to best suit their needs. This is the perfect complement to the customer who may have obtained their software over the web or wirelessly from a cellphone carrier's online store. If the consumer intends to use Pocket Quicken to synchronize with their desktop, then the program will function as a traditional handheld companion. Once connected to their desktop via cable, cradle or wirelessly via Bluetooth, Quicken owners simply use their PalmSource™ HotSync manager to seamlessly transfer to and from Quicken.

Pocket Quicken can also act as the consumer's primary finance application because it can instantly set up a standard set of categories, currencies and accounts with a single button tap and begin to operate as their stand alone finance manager. Consumers can customize their category and class list by adding new ones, editing existing entries, or deleting the ones they know they will never use.

Reports Show Financial Activity at a Glance
The new Pocket Quicken is like having an intelligent report generator with the consumer's complete financial details in their pocket. The new Quick Reports section can summarize transactions using any combination of amount, payee, category, class, memo, account and/or transaction attribute. Thus with just two taps the consumer can quickly check how many times they have filled up at the gas station this month or used their new credit card to rent movies at Blockbuster in the past 90 days. If an unfamiliar entry should is spotted – a single tap allows the consumer to view/edit the original transaction; and then once the transaction is reviewed and closed, the report is back on screen.

Treo™ Savvy Operation Offers One Handed Control
Special attention has been given to optimizing Pocket Quicken for smartphones such as palmOne's Treo 600/650. These improvements include complete support of the Treo's standard 5–way navigation button and LandWare's exclusive ThumbNav™ application control. This unique operational design enlarges all primary controls so they are easily selected by navigation button, stylus or even a thumb and positions the focus of the software automatically to the default selection. Even pop–up menus are enlarged and pre–selected for fast activation. This streamlined access to the most commonly used controls means the smartphone customer can operate the program quickly, efficiently and single handily.

In addition to the new Treo integration, Pocket Quicken takes advantage of the high–resolution screens to display financial data as never previously possible on a pocket device. With its full support for high–resolution fonts and graphics, Pocket Quicken's new streamlined interface makes the ugliest of finances more appealing while displaying them in absolute clarity. Row shading color and font size is now a program preference setting. So, whether the customer is wearing a Fossil Wrist Watch PDA, flying above the clouds in Garmin's Palm OS® Aviation GPS Handheld, communicating with palmOne's high resolution Treo 650 or working with the Tungsten T5's extra large display, Pocket Quicken is built to take full advantage of the available screen real estate and resolution.

New Transaction Priority Mode Means Data Capture Always Comes First
With the new Pocket Quicken a customer is always up to date with their financial standing, since transactions are captured as they happen from anywhere within the application. Even if viewing a budget or account list the moment a consumer starts entering the first letter of a payee's name, the new transaction screen is automatically displayed. Utilizing Pocket Quicken's quickfill and memorized payee list day–to–day transactions may be recorded with as little as two strokes of the stylus or taps on a built–in keyboard. In addition, transactions can now be split 30 ways with categories, classes and memos.

When Pocket Quicken is used as a stand alone financial manager consumers can confirm that all entered transactions match up with bank records with the new fully featured reconciliation functionality. Research shows that Americans spend an average of 2.2 hours per month balancing their checkbooks2 so Pocket Quicken's ability to perform this task on a handheld means customers have far greater opportunity to tackle it anytime their schedule allows. Even on a train, subway or plane a customer can now ensure that their records are in sync with their bank's statements.

A Helping Hand to Keeping on a Budget
Pocket Quicken budgets provide a quick and easy way to track how much has been spent or earned on any given category. In addition, Pocket Quicken can even suggest a budget amount based on prior financial activity. In order to determine how a budget has been used, the new QuickZoom feature instantly displays the transactions that contribute to any given budget.

For the first time automatically scheduling payments/deposits can now be performed in Pocket Quicken. The program's flexible scheduling options allow transactions to be automatically entered weekly, monthly, last day of month, quarterly and more. A pop–up reminder appears when a transaction comes due and the customer then has multiple options to choose from including record the payment right away, skip the payment or defer the entry until the next time the consumer opens the application.

Greater Account Control, Security and Foreign Currency Support
Pocket Quicken has greatly enhanced its ability to display financial account details. A single tap provides a new succinct report which summarizes financial activity, including current and ending balance, credit limit, account number and the primary contact – who can be dialed directly if the software is running on a smartphone. As with the previous versions of the software, there is no limit to the number of accounts the consumer can track or the length of historical transactions they wish to keep on their organizer.

When using foreign currencies, the program allows the customer to seamlessly record a hotel bill paid in Swiss Francs or gifts purchased in New Zealand dollars with an American credit card, while the program automatically takes care of the currency conversion. The program now allows the consumer to maintain an extensive editable list of currencies (including rates, symbols, shortcut keys, etc.) and a currency type can be set for each individual account.

Additional Enhancements and Features to the New Pocket Quicken

• The ability to optionally protect the financial information within by requiring a PIN code in order to open the application.
• Enhanced calculator that fills in the payment or deposit amount based on the calculation result.
• Full support for PalmSource's Graffiti® 2 engine provides customers with Tungsten and Zire handhelds with improved handwriting recognition.
• Looking to: Create a Quick Report? Trim Transactions? Reconcile? The new Pocket Quicken contains an extensive integrated help system with many operational guidelines, hints and tips.
• When a payment is entered that will put a balance total over the maximum as specified for that account, Pocket Quicken will display a yellow exclamation mark next to the account name; it's the program way of sounding a silent alarm.
