MontaVista and Sleepycat Provide Open-Source Software Solutions for
Linux-based Mobile Device

EMERYVILLE and SUNNYVALE, Calif., September 14, 2004     Sleepycat Software,
makers of Berkeley DB, and MontaVista Software today announced that Berkeley
DB and MontaVista® Linux® will be incorporated in the new Motorola A780
mobile phone.  Berkeley DB provides efficient, reliable data management while
the MontaVista Linux operating system provides a stable, versatile mobile
platform enabling availability of a wide range of native and Java(TM)
technology-based applications.  The Motorola A780 device is expected to be
available in the fourth quarter of 2004.

"The mobile device industry is rapidly adopting Linux as a platform to
deliver innovative and cost-effective products into the market" said Jacob
Lehrbaum, product marketing manager for MontaVista Software.  "MontaVista
Linux is an open, standards-based OS platform that is highly flexible and is
ideal for building smart mobile devices."

"We're pleased to supply our software solutions to leading mobile phone
manufacturers   like Motorola   for the management of device applications
including Java games, audio files and video clips." said Rex Wang, vice
president of marketing at Sleepycat Software.  "Together, MontaVista Linux
and Sleepycat's Berkeley DB work 'behind the screen' to contribute to an
enhanced mobile user experience."

Motorola's A780, created for mobile professionals, is a converged device
designed for mobile office connectivity as well as for personal
entertainment.  The A780 offers a range of features and applications such as
PDA capability, full-motion video recording, and a 240 x 320 color touch
screen.  The A780 is also a full enterprise solution mobile device,
supporting various document formats, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF,
MP3 and JPG files.

Enterprise data is stored directly in the phone using Berkeley DB, an
enterprise-class data manager with full transactional support.  Email,
calendar and contact information can also be synchronized over-the-air with
MOTOSYNC, a secure synchronization solution from Motorola that allows mobile
users to stay connected while out of the office.

In addition to the new A780 smartphone, Motorola has used both MontaVista
Linux and Berkeley DB in other Linux-based products such as the A760 and A768
handset models, which were distributed in the Asian market.

MontaVista and Sleepycat have also partnered to certify Berkeley DB High
Availability on MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition, providing a proven
platform for carrier-grade telecommunications applications.
