Mountain View, Calif., Dec. 1, 2005—PocketSensei® announced the immediate availability of SilverScreen™ 3.4, an upgrade to the best-selling application launcher for Palm OS® devices. The software retains the renowned simplicity and familiar layout of Palm’s application launcher while seamlessly incorporating new functionality and a stylish appearance.

New date-driven Ticker Tapes™ have also been released for April including major league baseball games, an inspirational quote-a-day and world holidays calendar. The new version of SilverScreen also allows GIF and JPEG images to be read directly into the Pix sheet™ slideshow or to use on OS5 devices as backdrops. Zound FX™ bring customization to the audio realm on all newer OS5 devices.

SilverScreen provides full support for Secure Digital® cards and Sony® Memory Stick® media. Launching and categorizing items on expansion media is seamlessly integrated along with the ability to copy and move files to and from the handheld.

SilverScreen 3.4 sells for $24.95 and entitles customers to all 3.x versions of the software free of charge. Registered SilverScreen customers can upgrade (with the same entitlements as the full purchase) for $9.95 or update for free over an existing registered SilverScreen if purchased after 8/1/2002.

"Version 3.4 continues the SilverScreen tradition of the ultimate in customization," said president Bohm S. Kim. "Users may choose their favorite look for the battery meter, application icons, pop-up sheets, fonts, scroll bar, palmtop pix and on soundstream-compatible devices even sound effects. We continue to support the widest range of Palm OS devices including monochrome, color, hi-res and extended displays. SilverScreen showcases the next generation of interface design and represents our tireless pursuit of marrying gorgeous looks to an extremely intuitive and powerful feature set."

Kim also spoke about the new Dynamicon offerings. "With dynamicons SilverScreen users are now able to have a fully animated screen--we have always pushed the envelope to make our interface into living, breathing artwork. The sky's the limit for what will be done with dynamicons in the future. It is a very cool feature and best of all it's available now across all devices."

SilverScreen, in its fifth year of release, has been a continuous occupant of the top ten lists of the major Palm Computing software Web sites. Over the last year it was a top software download and best-seller at both Handango and PalmGear. Articles featuring SilverScreen have appeared in numerous trade-magazines, guide books, Web sites, and the Wall Street Journal.
