| LONDON,
England - 2nd August 2001 - - Users of Palm®-powered handheld
computers can now print hard copies of their memos, appointments,
addresses, to do notes, emails and any data that can be copied to
the clipboard, simply by beaming the files to an infrared (IR) enabled
printer, allowing vital data to be shared in print format. Distributed
exclusively in the UK by MediaGold, PrintBoy™, developed by Bachmann
Software and Services, has an RRP of £19.99 including VAT.
"Handheld computers are fantastic for storing and carrying
information around with you, but it isn't easy to share this information
with colleagues and friends if they don't also possess a Palm device.
PrintBoy lets handheld computer users simply print out their information
and share it with whoever the need to, whenever they need to,"
says Jo Wood, Chief Executive Officer, MediaGold UK.
Main Features

on the Palm Operating System version 3.0 or higher can be printed
