Sprint and FlashPoint Partner to Enable Wireless Digital Imaging

Kansas City, MO and San Jose, CA - November 6, 2000 - Sprint PCS and FlashPoint Technology, today announced a partnership that will result in an innovative service enabling Sprint PCS enterprise customers to wirelessly send images to the Internet via the Sprint PCS nationwide network. FlashPoint's Photivity end-to-end digital imaging platform will provide a solution for business customers to send images from the point of capture to the Internet, using a digital camera connected to a Sprint PCS Internet-ready Phone.

Photivity is a powerful, flexible platform that provides the underlying technology for the future of digital imaging. It allows partners and developers to create customized business and consumer applications designed to specifical ly meet their end customers' needs. Integrating this platform with the Sprint PCS network makes it possible for business customers to transmit images, along with embedded information about the image, from remote locations to colleagues and corporate enterprises anywhere in the world. Images can be sent directly from a digital camera to a Sprint PCS hosted Web account where the photos can be stored, viewed and manipulated. It also allows customers to send e-mail directly from the camera so that colleagues and clients can be invited to view, make comments, evaluate and approve images on the hosted site, creating a dynamically shared photo album that bolsters and enhances workflow.

Wireless imaging has broad appeal with potential applications in several industries including real estate, insurance, construction, architectural, engineering, law enforcement and media.

"Sprint PCS is an ideal partner for FlashPoint's Photivity platform," said FlashPoint President Stephen Saylor. "As the leader in mobile wireless data services, Sprint PCS is able to use our platform to offer a powerful wireless imaging solution to their business customers. The Photivity platform was created as the underlying technology and industry standard for the future of imaging."

Sprint PCS will be engaged in customer trials throughout the rest of the year with commercial availability expected in early 2001.
