PCS Vision customers using PCS Phones such as the Handspring Treo 300 and the Toshiba 2032 as well as existing Palm Powered PCS Phones and Pocket PC devices wirelessly enabled by PCS Connection Cards for laptops and PDAs, can take advantage of the PCS Software Store offerings.

The PCS Software Store offers thousands of applications ranging from robust business software to action-packed games, ringtones, icons, and images. Applications include messaging, security, document viewing, travel, and other personal productivity software. Handspring Treo 300 and Toshiba 2032 users can download software for their Vision-enabled phones and take full advantage of the devices' data functionality, expanded memory, high-resolution, processor and large color screens.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sprint and Handango will provide desktop access to a suite of applications optimized for the Palm and Pocket PC platforms. Additionally, software applications will be available for over-the-air delivery for Vision-enabled smartphones and Pocket PCs. The Palm mobile software store can be accessed at http://sprint.handango.com/palm for catalog browsing and will support over-the-air downloads in an upcoming release.

Both mobile software stores will be made available on the PCS Web PDA homedeck at pda.sprintpcs.com, the default homedeck on Palm and Pocket PC PCS Phones from Sprint. This first-of- its-kind offering in North America facilitates the delivery of mobile applications to users from any PC or laptop with Internet access and anytime, anywhere on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The two companies will also collaborate together on joint sales opportunities, co-marketing and demand generation activities.
