TabletKiosk® and Dean Evans & Associates Create Mobile Conference Management SolutionTorrance, CA, September 24, 2008 —TabletKiosk®, a leader in Tablet PC and mobile computing solutions, is pleased to welcome Dean Evans & Associates (DEA), a leading developer of facility and resource scheduling and shared workspace management software solutions, as a new strategic ISV partner in the meeting and event management arena. “As two innovation leaders in their respective markets, TabletKiosk and DEA are in a unique position to combine technologies to offer a wholly mobile terminal for managing resources,” said Martin Smekal, president of TabletKiosk. “Because DEA targets many of our same vertical markets that we do, including Healthcare, Education and State and Local governments, I see a great deal of synergy between our companies and look forward to a long term business relationship.” For mobile deployment of its signature Event Management System (EMS), DEA has chosen the Sahara Slate PC® i440T for its resistive touch screen interface combined with a sleek, carry-everywhere design. “We are very excited to promote EMS with the added benefit of mobility on the Sahara Slate PC,” said Kevin Raasch, executive vice president of Dean Evans & Associates. “Accessing EMS from a mobile tablet PC, event planners should experience greater flexibility in planning, improved response times and real-time problem solving from wherever their work takes them. Facility visitors can also take advantage of the Sahara Slate PC in its role as a wall-mounted digital sign or touch-screen kiosk.” About TabletKiosk®TabletKiosk is a registered trademark and wholly owned subsidiary of Sand Dune Ventures Inc., a privately held technology incubator.

TabletKiosk® Introduces the Eyesboard™: Its New On-Screen, Virtual KeyboardTorrance, CA, September 8, 2008 —TabletKiosk®, a leading manufacturer of Tablet PC and Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) computing solutions, continues to improve the slate-style Tablet PC user experience by including the Eyesboard™ on-screen virtual keyboard on all of its systems as well as offering it as a free download for existing TabletKiosk Tablet PC and UMPC owners. The Eyesboard, created by PlazaLOGIC, is an on-screen, virtual QWERTY keyboard, that enables users to type directly on the screen with their fingers or a stylus. Sporting a realistic “3D” look, multiple language options, easy size adjustment, choice of colors, and optional settings—including opacity, “snapable” palettes, menu buttons and sound effects—the Eyesboard virtual keyboard is highly customizable to best fit each user's unique needs. “Given that touch screen kiosks with virtual keyboards are now commonly used in airports and retail stores, today's Tablet PC owners are more familiar with the idea of on-screen typing,” said Martin Smekal, president of TabletKiosk. “By including the Eyesboard as a standard feature on all of our tablets, we believe that we have greatly improved the overall mobile computing experience.” The Eyesboard virtual keyboard looks and behaves like an actual computer keyboard with its traditional QWERTY key layout, separate numeric keypad and accessible function keys. To maximize screen real estate, the Eyesboard is fully user resizable, and capable of docking or minimizing to the taskbar—so that the keyboard is always accessible even when editing a full size document. It also features adjustable opacity settings to allow whatever is below it to be completely hidden or partially visible. In addition, the Eyesboard virtual keyboard conveniently appears at the Windows Log-In screen for easy password input, but runs with restricted functionality to maintain system security. “The inclusion of the Eyesboard virtual keyboard for on-screen typing absolutely enhances the usability of our Sahara Slate PC® and eo® Ultra-Mobile PC systems, especially for those users new to the platform,” said Martin Smekal. “The Eyesboard is the perfect complement to the slate Tablet PC form factor because it provides an extremely familiar method of entering text without adding extra components or weight.” About TabletKiosk®TabletKiosk is a registered trademark and wholly owned subsidiary of Sand Dune Ventures Inc., a privately held technology incubator. The company produces slate-style Tablet PCs and Ultra-Mobile PCs marketed and sold through an authorized reseller channel and directly through its website.
