New USB-25™ port adapter enables Mac and iMac users fast, easy access to the company's super-reliable Wireless SurfBoard™ and Wireless SurfMouse™ products.

AUSTIN, TX - April 24, 2000 - Wireless Computing, Inc., manufacturers of cutting-edge wireless computer peripherals, has announced the shipment of its newest product, the USB-25™. The USB-25™ is a PS/2-to-USB-port keyboard/mouse adapter that enables Macintosh® users access to the company's premium presentation products - including its critically acclaimed Wireless SurfBoard™ and Wireless SurfMouse™ - for the first time.

Macintosh® and iMac® users can connect Wireless Computing's receiver directly into the USB-25, which then plugs into the USB port on all Macintosh computers. PC users with a USB port also can benefit from the USB-25. By connecting the Wireless Computing receiver through the USB port instead of the keyboard and mouse ports, those ports are freed to accommodate traditional, corded input devices.

MARKET NEED

According to Martin Phillips, president of Wireless Computing, the USB-25 fulfills two important, immediate market needs for a growing customer base. "First, the USB-25 gives Mac and iMac users a simple, inexpensive way to connect to our wireless keyboard and mouse products, which are based on radio-frequency (RF) technologies, recognized as the most reliable in the presentation profession.
