Criterion's REDTablet Mobile Real Estate Solution Showcased at Intel Launch Event

SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)-- May 10, 2004 -- REDTablet(TM) Mega-Producer John Pinto Demonstrates Why Tablet PC is Perfect Mobile Technology Tool for Real Estate Professionals

For real estate mega-producer John Pinto, mobile technology is all about increasing productivity and providing clients with the service they need, any time day or night and from almost anywhere he happens to be at the moment. His new Tablet PC - and the instant access to his clients and tools and information it provides - has transformed the way he does business. He expects the Tablet PC will boost his business this year by 30 to 35 percent over 2003.



For Pinto, mobility provides real business value. With more than 30,000 WiFi hotspots worldwide, he is confident he can respond to clients quickly and effectively from virtually anywhere. Pinto demonstrated how he is putting his Criterion REDTablet(TM) Mobile Real Estate Solution to work in his $95 million a year real estate business at a new wireless hotspot in San Francisco's SBC Park, where Intel Corporation executives today showcased Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology and unveiled three new Intel mobile processors. Pinto's story also is outlined in a case study released today by Intel. (To view the case study, visit http://www.redtablet.com).

Pinto has been using his Criterion REDTablet Mobile Office Real Estate Solution, which is built around a Motion Computing M1300 Tablet PC featuring Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology, since late last year.


"Now, I can conduct business virtually anywhere," says Pinto, broker/owner of Realty World - John V. Pinto & Associates in San Jose, CA. "I need to be in the office for only an hour or so a day. With wireless connectivity and the long battery life provided by my Criterion REDTablet Mobile Office, I am more accessible to my clients and I can access all my tools at any time. That makes me more responsive and more productive."

"Our goal is to provide wireless mobile solutions that enable real estate agents to be more productive," says Criterion Corporation President Daniel Tealdi. "Continued innovation in Intel Centrino mobile technology has made it possible to transform the Tablet PC and its pen-based computing features into a powerful tool that helps make top-producing agents like John Pinto even more successful."

Intel Centrino mobile technology is designed to help users take full advantage of the benefits of wireless mobility. "With the next-generation Pentium M processor introduced today, Intel is pumping up the performance of Intel Centrino mobile technology and delivering an outstanding mobile computing experience to real estate agents and other professionals," said Karen Regis, director of marketing programs for Intel's Mobile Products Group. "Intel Centrino mobile technology enables mobile PCs that are both easy to carry and powerful enough to run applications that rely on complex graphics, as many real estate applications do."
