Partnership Bundles MachBlue™ with ACCESS Linux Platform™ and ACCESS NetFront™ Browser

MONTREAL - March 26, 2007 - Bluestreak Technology today announced a multi-year license agreement with ACCESS CO., LTD. (TSE: 4813) that enables Bluestreak's MachBlue™ technology to be offered with ACCESS Linux Platform and ACCESS NetFront Browser.

Under the terms of the agreement, ACCESS will be able to offer MachBlue bundled with its own products to provide customers complete packages for mobile rich-media and TV/video services. MachBlue is an award-winning player that runs Flash®-formatted* files on both mobile phones and digital TV set-top boxes. ACCESS Linux Platform, or ALP, is a fully integrated, open, flexible, and commercial-grade Linux-based platform designed for smartphones and mobile devices. ACCESS NetFront Browser is the world's leading browser for devices with limited hardware resources, such as memory or CPU.

"The market is demanding mobile applications that are more sophisticated, powerful, and easier to use," said Tomihisa Kamada, ACCESS co-founder and CTO. "MachBlue answers all these needs, making it an ideal compliment to NetFront Browser and ALP, an approved platform for France Telecom Group's Orange brand. The combined solution will enable ACCESS customers to enhance their mobile experience through superior graphics, intuitive user interfaces, and robust navigation." Dr. Kamada also noted that Bluestreak is a charter member of the ACCESS Connect Ecosystem global partner program.

"ACCESS already provides best-in-class solutions with products like ALP, the world's top commercial Linux platform for mobile, and NetFront, the world's leading Internet browser," said Paul Forostowsky, Bluestreak CEO. "We are honored that ACCESS has chosen MachBlue to augment its offering. The agreement will help ACCESS customers create and deploy today's hottest mobile services, including mobile TV, music-on-demand, sports portals, and off-deck content browsers."

* MachBlue Mobile implements a subset of the Flash® 7 specification, supplemented with the MachBlue Mobile API, which enables enhanced handset control and integration. Flash® is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc. in the United States and other countries.
