Impatica Inc., an industry leader in the delivery and viewing of PowerPoint presentations over the Internet and wireless networks, today announced the Impatica ShowMate–the first and only solution to allow users to project PowerPoint presentations directly from their BlackBerry devices.

BlackBerry, developed by Research In Motion is a robust wireless platform with proven productivity benefits. ShowMate complements BlackBerry with added productivity and convenience by allowing users to deliver presentations on the road without the need to carry their laptop. Impatica ShowMate is the first device of its kind to allow BlackBerry users to project PowerPoint presentations directly from their handhelds, without the need for a laptop computer. A pocket-sized device that weighs less than three ounces, ShowMate supports full-featured PowerPoint presentations including rich text, images, charts, graphs, animations and slide transition effects.

To utilize ShowMate, PowerPoint presentations can be transferred to a BlackBerry device directly from the user’s desktop computer, via Impatica software; downloaded from a web site; or received over-the-air as an e-mail attachment. Once on location and ready to present, they simply connect the ShowMate to their BlackBerry devices and to the projector or large screen display and start the presentation.*

Impatica’s ShowMate is available from distributors and strategic partners around the world and from Impatica directly at www.impatica.com.

* Receiving PowerPoint files wirelessly via email attachment requires BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
