NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2005-- Mobile Action, a global leader in mobile management software, today announced Handset Manager 9.0, the newest version of the company's popular handsets-to-PC data sharing solution. Handset Manager 9.0 includes new features such as new PC synchronization, enhanced support for Bluetooth accessories, and new MP3 and video support to mix music and movies for your cellular handset.

Foremost among the new features added to Handset Manager 9.0 are an MP3 audio clipper and editor, and a video composer, which deliver the ability to create and share music and movie files between your laptop or PC and your mobile phone. These new functions enable users to create, cut and mix their favorite MP3 files and video clips to produce ring tones and short films for multimedia-ready mobile phones.

Mobile Action also has added SyncManager, a powerful new tool that allows users to establish synchronization settings to enable a one-click connection between your cellular phone and your PC. The new version includes a better user interface with new controls for features such as picture sharing, MMS sound and animation editing, file transfer, and the synchronization and management of personal contacts and calendars. Enhanced Bluetooth capability also adds support for MSN Messenger and Skype, and lets users control their cellular handsets using Bluetooth-enabled hardware, such as a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse.

"Mobile Action is committed to offering the latest functionality and a user-friendly interface to connect your PC to your cell phone for data sharing. We want to enable users more easily integrate their wireless technology into their everyday lives." said Fitzwilliam Yang, brand manager for Mobile Action. "Now, with Handset Manager 9.0's new multimedia editing features, the MP3 clipper and video composer, users can be their own MP3 DJ or film director, creating their own ring tomes and video content."

Handset Manager 9.0 adds many additional multi-media editing functions, including subtitles, narration, music and special effects. With the new video composer feature, for example, users can add and edit text, graphics or animation, and they can select windows or zoom in and zoom out of images. Users can also record short films with their phones, or they can receive films via MMS or Internet downloads from carriers and use their PCs to edit and share them.

As with previous product versions, Handset Manager 9.0 connects mobile phones and PCs via USB, infrared or Bluetooth connectors. Handset Manager 9.0 is currently available for 12 cellular phone models, including the LG VX 7000, Sony Ericsson K700i / S700i, Motorola E550 / v600i / V3, Sharp GX25, Siemens SL65 / S65, Nokia 6230 / 6260 / 6670 and Sagem MyX8.
