<p>MARK/SPACE INTRODUCES THE MISSING SYNC FOR SONY PSP</p>
<p>Mac Software Increases the Fun-factor and Functionality of Sony's Popular<br />
PlayStation Portable</p>
<p>LOS GATOS, Calif.--June 13, 2006--Mark/Space, Inc. announced today the<br />
immediate availability of their new synchronization software product for<br />
Mac OS X, The Missing Sync for Sony PSP. This latest product from the<br />
company known for connecting cool gadgets to the Mac provides a number of<br />
innovative features that PlayStation Portable owners are sure to enjoy,<br />
including Intel-native video encoding; offline web browsing; packaging of<br />
contacts, calendars, tasks, notes and Safari bookmarks into stylized web<br />
pages and integration with iPhoto and iTunes. All of the software's<br />
capabilities are designed to enhance the PSP experience for Mac users.</p>
<p>"The PSP is an unbelievably cool device, capable of fulfilling multiple<br />
roles," said Brian Hall, Mark/Space president and CEO. "By leveraging the<br />
PSP's inherent strengths and providing Mac OS X integration, The Missing<br />
Sync for Sony PSP increases the usefulness of the PSP in many ways that are<br />
both useful and exciting. Never before has a device presented personal<br />
information, such as calendars and contacts, in as fun a way as we've made<br />
possible with the PSP. Our customers will be taking their PSP more places<br />
than ever."</p>
<p>EXTENDING THE PSP'S CAPABILITIES</p>
<p>All of the features present in The Missing Sync for Sony PSP either<br />
increase the functionality or the fun-factor of the device. For example,<br />
the PSP does not provide applications for storing contacts or calendar<br />
information. The Missing Sync solves this problem by gathering data from<br />
Mac OS X's Address Book and iCal apps--or any applications that employ<br />
Apple's Sync Services technology in Mac OS X "Tiger"--and making it<br />
viewable in the PSP's Web Browser. Memos from the bundled Mark/Space<br />
Notebook application are also downloaded to the device, putting useful<br />
information at its owners fingertip.</p>
<p>The start page for all of this information is then bookmarked, providing<br />
quick access from the PSP's Web Browser application. This capability gives<br />
the PSP an electronic organizer-like capability, making it far more than<br />
just a multimedia game device. Mark/Space takes this feature one step<br />
further by providing interesting themes for presenting information on the<br />
device, allowing the user to personalize the experience to suit their own<br />
tastes. Themes range from simple, colored themes to more complex,<br />
photo-realistic themes with gorgeous background images.</p>
<p>WEBSNACKS</p>
<p>The Missing Sync for Sony PSP introduces a feature that downloads web<br />
content for offline viewing. Called WebSnacks, this feature downloads web<br />
pages, blogs and RSS feeds to the PSP's Memory Stick and bookmarks them for<br />
convenient offline viewing. Settings are provided for how deep to scan and<br />
how often to refresh downloaded content. WebSnacks provides access to<br />
favorite web pages, allowing the user to stay informed or keep entertained<br />
even when Wi-Fi Internet access isn't available, such as on a commuter<br />
train or in the movie theater before the show.</p>
<p>VIDEO ENCODING</p>
<p>The Missing Sync for Sony PSP includes video encoding capabilities for<br />
viewing movie previews, viral videos, home movies and other video content<br />
on the PSP. Dragging videos to the application tells The Missing Sync to<br />
prepare them for the PSP. The encoding methods provide native Intel and<br />
PowerPC support, so the user will enjoy the best possible encoding<br />
performance from their Mac. Quality and aspect ratio settings allow control<br />
over the process. The Missing Sync for Sony PSP does not provide video<br />
extraction from DVDs.</p>
<p>PHOTOS, TUNES AND PODCASTS</p>
<p>Complete integration with iPhoto and iTunes allows photos, music and<br />
podcasts to be downloaded to the PSP. The user simply checks which albums<br />
and playlists they want copied to the PSP, and The Missing Sync does the<br />
rest. The software is smart enough not to download protected iTunes Music<br />
Store songs that cannot be played on the device.</p>
<p>MARK/SPACE NOTEBOOK</p>
<p>Mark/Space Notebook, a new standalone application for notes and memos is<br />
included for free with The Missing Sync for Sony PSP. In addition to<br />
supporting text and graphics notes syncing to the PSP via The Missing Sync,<br />
Mark/Space Notebook supports Spotlight searching and synchronization across<br />
multiple Macs via Apple's .Mac service.</p>
<p>ADDITIONAL FEATURES</p>
<p>The Missing Sync also provides complete Memory Stick backup and restore<br />
capabilities, with multiple restore points for added safety. There's a Game<br />
Backup plugin that protects the user's time investment in game playing by<br />
allowing them to restore specific game states to the device. The Folder<br />
Sync plugin enables a sort of digital briefcase capability, syncing the<br />
contents of selected folders back and forth between the Mac and the PSP.<br />
The Missing Sync even keeps track of multiple Memory Sticks independently,<br />
allowing the user to store different content on each. To learn more about<br />
The Missing Sync for Sony PSP, please visit <a href="http://www.markspace.com" title="www.markspace.com">www.markspace.com</a>.</p>
