<p>SMITH MICRO SHIPS CHECKIT REPAIR & PERFORMANCE SUITE - A COMPLETE SOLUTION<br />
TO KEEP YOUR MAC IN PEAK FORM</p>
<p>Industrial Strength Diagnostic, Cleaning, and Repair Tools Combined with<br />
Flexible Intuitive Backups Provides a Complete Mac Maintenance Solution</p>
<p>San Francisco, CA - January 10, 2006 -- Smith Micro Software, Inc's<br />
(NASDAQ: SMSI) Allume Systems Division, today introduced the CheckIt Repair<br />
and Performance Suite at MacWorld San Francisco (Booth 1237). The CheckIt<br />
Repair and Performance Suite brings three leading utilities together in one<br />
package: SpringCleaning a powerful "Uninstaller" and cleanup utility<br />
designed to help users rid their computer of unnecessary and redundant<br />
files; TechTool Platinum, a full featured version of Micromat, Inc.'s<br />
leading diagnostic and repair tool; and EMC Dantz Retrospect Express,<br />
flexible and intuitive personal backup and restore software. CheckIt Repair<br />
and Performance Suite is the perfect solution for those who can't afford to<br />
loose important files or the down-time associated with hardware problems<br />
and want to maintain their Mac at peak performance while ensuring that<br />
their critical files are backed up and protected.</p>
<p>"With powerful new features including the ability to gather photos and<br />
music files, folder synchronization, Widget Finder, and other features,<br />
CheckIt Repair & Performance helps take the guesswork out of managing files<br />
on your Macintosh," said Pauline Shumake, Smith Micro's Senior Product<br />
Manager. "When it comes to locating and collecting media files, or removing<br />
outdated, orphaned, or redundant files, there is no tool out there more<br />
powerful than this latest version of SpringCleaning."</p>
<p>"TechTool Platinum truly is the next generation disk utility for the<br />
Macintosh. Whether you're looking to optimize a drive, repair its directory<br />
structure, recover lost or trashed files, or just the peace of mind of<br />
knowing your drive is in good shape, TechTool Platinum is the tool to reach<br />
for," said Christian Pickman, Micromat Incorporated Product Manager. "Our<br />
eDrive feature means you can recover from many problems without carrying<br />
around a bunch of CD's."</p>
<p>"EMC Dantz Retrospect Express complements the other utilities in Allume's<br />
new suite because it gives users a powerful and flexible tool to protect<br />
their files," said Larry Zulch, Vice President and General Manager, EMC<br />
Dantz, EMC Corporation.</p>
<p>"By bringing these three tools together in a single package at a fabulous<br />
price, what I hope to bring the user is greater peace of mind," said David<br />
Polzine, CheckIt Product Manager at Smith Micro. "This is the solution to<br />
reach for when things go wrong on your Mac."</p>
