eNabler Corp.'s Wireless Mobile Retail Solution Takes Top Honors in AT&T's Wireless Enterprise Application Developer Contest

JavaDive Technologies' MedsTimer Is Runner-Up; Three Other Applications Are Category Winners

SAN ANTONIO, April 18 -- An innovative wireless mobile retail solution that can help on-the-go business people -- from plumbers to delivery services -- easily create invoices, accept credit cards and print receipts over a wireless network was the grand-prize winner in the enterprise portion of AT&T's Fast-Pitch best mobile application competition. The competition was held at the annual CTIA wireless show in Las Vegas, with more than 100 developers participating.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has announced that eNabler Corp. of Carmel, Calif., won $15,000 for the best new application for its eMobilePOS, a mobile retail solution that performs bar code scanning, credit card payment processing, signature capture and receipt printing. The solution also uses the wireless network to remotely update financial records in a company's accounting system.

"eMobilePOS is a well-designed application that can help a wide range of businesses, from a roadside vendor to a large wholesaler, be more productive and better serve customers," said Mike Woodward, vice president, Business Data Service, AT&T's wireless unit. "We had a tremendous number of great enterprise applications, and we congratulate all the winners and participants in this year's Fast Pitch."

The runner-up in the contest, JavaDive Technologies of Chicago, received $5,000. JavaDive's MedsTimer application solves two issues with outpatient drug trials by using a wireless device to remind patients of the dose schedule and maintain the patient's diary of self-reporting. MedsTimer can be customized for a specific drug trial protocol and reporting structure.

  Three developers won $5,000 each as category winners:
  -- Activity Management of Gross Pointe Farms, Mich., won best small-medium
     business application for its Insight application, which helps increase
     the productivity of a mobile workforce.
  -- BlueTech LLC of Portland, Ore., won most improved application for its
     FieldRanger application for field force automation.
  -- Opticon of Orangeburg, N.Y., won best network device for its
     Opitcon H19, a new rugged smartphone.



"We are extremely pleased to be named the best of the best in AT&T's Fast Pitch contest for mobile enterprise applications, and it confirms our commitment to develop business-friendly applications," said Rene Diaz, director of Sales and Marketing, eNabler. "AT&T is the leading wireless carrier in helping application developers to be certified on its network and successful in the marketplace."

AT&T was the first major wireless carrier to create a developer-relations program and now has more than 20,000 developers registered in its program. The company offers its customers all of the world's major mobile operating systems, working with developers to create applications and content for BlackBerry(R), Apple's iPhone, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Java, Palm OS and Symbian.

All of AT&T's mobile applications operate on its Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, the world's standard in mobile communications used by nearly 3 billion people. GSM is inherently open, making it easy for developers and carriers to bring innovative applications to consumers.

In a competitive analysis of the developer-relations programs of major wireless carriers and device manufacturers published last year by Evans Data, AT&T ranked first among carriers in its ability to help wireless developers successfully commercialize their applications from concept to certification to generating revenue.

The study, which also ranked AT&T first among carriers and second overall for the quality of its developers program, said: "(AT&T's developer) partnering options are amongst the most well-defined among the companies reviewed here. Developers are given several options to market their applications, through (AT&T's) own marketplace and through external resources like Cellmania and Handango."
