Critical Path's Memova Mobile 3.0 Brings Mobile Email and Content to Virtually All of Today's Consumer Phones

Ubiquitous Support for Messaging Clients, No Software Downloads and Over-the-Air Provisioning Enable Operators to Drive Faster Uptake;New End-User Features Improve Consumer Experience

SAN FRANCISCO & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2007--Critical Path, Inc. (OTC:CPTH), a leading provider of messaging software and services, today announced it is unveiling Memova(R) Mobile 3.0 -- the latest version of its consumer-oriented mobile email and content solution -- at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain (Stand 2D20, Hall 2). Building on the existing Memova Mobile platform, version 3.0 introduces extended phone client support, while offering new ways to improve the consumer experience and increase subscriber usage of mobile email and content.

Despite high consumer demand for mobile email and the increasing proliferation of digital content, most mobile email and content services are too costly and difficult for the average consumer to set up and use. What's more, operators are faced with the challenge of supporting multiple email technologies as new handsets and client protocols continuously emerge. In order to successfully drive mass-market adoption, operators need a solution that better addresses the unique needs of consumers and supports all of the prevalent and emerging messaging clients on handsets.With the launch of version 3.0, Memova Mobile brings its simple, consumer-oriented experience to virtually any of today's popular consumer mobile phones. Augmenting existing compatibility with MMS and SMS handsets, the latest version of Memova Mobile introduces support for the major IETF and OMA push email client protocols and is designed to support new client standards as they emerge. As a result, services powered by Memova Mobile work with the phones consumers are already using, and services can be provisioned over the air with no software to download.

"Memova Mobile is client agnostic, which means operators no longer have to bet on a single technology when choosing a consumer mobile email solution," said Robert Zuber, Chief Mobile Strategist, Critical Path. "With Memova Mobile, operators can focus on what's most important -- providing the best user experience possible -- while deploying a flexible solution that will work with just about any phone."

Along with broad messaging client support, Memova Mobile 3.0 delivers new features designed to simplify the user experience and drive uptake, including a new Web-based account management tool, the ability to specify when and how much email/content is delivered to the phone, and interactive content uploading. These new features expand upon the platform's existing capabilities, which make it simple for users to activate mobile email services on the phone or a Web interface, as well as easily allow and block email senders and discover and subscribe to content channels.

Critical Path expects Memova Mobile 3.0 to be generally available within the next 60 days. Product demonstrations are being held at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 12-15 (Stand 2D20 - Hall 2), and will also be held at CTIA Wireless in Orlando, March 27-29 (Booth 803).
