<p>FileMaker Ships 30,000 Units of FileMaker Mobile In First 3 Months</p>
<p>SANTA CLARA, CA - March 12, 2001 - Shipments of FileMaker Mobile Companion<br />
for Palm OS have surpassed 30,000 units in its first three months,<br />
FileMaker said today.</p>
<p>The popular FileMaker Mobile software lets users transfer and synchronize<br />
data bi-directionally between FileMaker Pro 5 databases on Windows and Mac<br />
OS desktop computers and Palm Powered handhelds. The newest addition to the<br />
award-winning line of FileMaker workgroup database tools, it first shipped<br />
Dec. 11, during PalmSource 2000.</p>
<p>"Workgroups and knowledge workers demand access to business information<br />
anywhere and anytime," said Dominique Goupil, FileMaker president.<br />
"FileMaker Mobile has been well-received by customers because it delivers<br />
an instant mobile solution for FileMaker Pro 5 users."</p>
<p>FileMaker Mobile provides a simple load-and-go mobile solution: the user<br />
selects and loads the FileMaker records and fields they require from their<br />
desktop database to the Palm handheld. Later, handheld data may be synched<br />
with the desktop database via the Palm HotSync technology.</p>
<p>"Shipping 30,000 units of business software for the Palm OS is an important<br />
milestone," said J. Gerry Purdy, president and CEO of Mobile Insights, Inc.<br />
"It highlights the progress of Palm OS from a platform for mainly built-in<br />
PIM software to one that supports rich applications such as FileMaker<br />
Mobile."</p>
<p>'An industry first,' 'One of the most impressive apps' FileMaker Mobile has<br />
earned powerful praise in many news and reviews already. Here are a few<br />
highlights:</p>
<p>"FileMaker Inc.'s new FileMaker Mobile Companion for the Palm OS delivers<br />
what appears to be an industry first -- the power of a relational database<br />
on the Palm platform." - Los Angeles Times, Jan. 4, 2001.</p>
<p>"One of the most impressive (Palm) apps we tried was FileMaker Mobile We<br />
could run an entire FileMaker database and synchronize the whole thing or<br />
just certain fields with a PC database. .. In our tests, the FileMaker<br />
software never missed a beat, or a record." - Washington Post, Feb. 22,<br />
2001.</p>
<p>"The mobile version of FileMaker installed without a hitch. And it worked<br />
with its desktop big brother like a champ FileMaker Mobile can open a new<br />
world to Palm users, the world of database management. And it can extend<br />
the power of a database to where it's needed - at the source of its data."<br />
- Boston Globe, Dec. 14, 2000.</p>
<p>" I discovered that porting an existing FileMaker Pro 5 database was simple<br />
and intuitive Once you've transferred a database to the handheld, you are<br />
free to view, edit, and create records." - PC World Magazine, Feb. 1, 2001.</p>
<p>The FileMaker line of database software provides relational power, instant<br />
and custom Web publishing and legendary ease-of-use. FileMaker is the<br />
database software subsidiary of Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL).</p>
<p>Palm, Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) is a pioneer in the field of mobile and wireless<br />
Internet solutions and a leading provider of handheld computers (source:<br />
IDC, Dec., 1999).</p>
