Adds iPassConnect for BlackBerry smartphones to Mobile Office portfolio; gives customers the ultimate mobility choice while releasing the full potential of BlackBerry enterprise applications

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a leading provider of enterprise mobility services, today launched the industry's first global enterprise Wi-Fi® client for the popular BlackBerry® platform. With the addition of the Blackberry iPassConnect Client, iPass supports the leading smartphones used by large enterprises -- including the iPhone, and Windows Mobile- and Symbian-based smartphones. Now iPass Mobile Office corporate customers-many with large departments using Wi-Fi enabled devices such as the Blackberry Bold 9000 and Curve 8900-can provide their employees with access to nearly 140,000 hotspots in 83 countries.

Evolving to become more than simply a mobile phone, BlackBerry smartphone devices are leading the market as the next generation of business productivity tools. Despite the option of 3G connectivity on many devices, the advanced applications currently in use from vendors such as Oracle, Siebel, Salesforce.com and Microsoft demand the wider bandwidth associated with Wi-Fi for fuller functionality and greater usability. iPassConnect for BlackBerry smartphones allows users to remain truly productive when away from the office. With access to the world's largest Wi-Fi hotspot network, enterprises can bridge the 3G performance gap while avoiding expensive roaming charges and taking advantage of predictable and transparent monthly mobility costs.

iPass is available for all current and future Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry smartphones, including:

• BlackBerry® Bold^TM
• BlackBerry® Pearl^TM Flip 8220
• BlackBerry® Pearl^TM 8120
• BlackBerry® Curve^TM 8900
• BlackBerry® Curve^TM 8320
• BlackBerry® Curve^TM 8350i
• BlackBerry® 8820

The iPassConnect application for BlackBerry smartphones works in conjunction with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, giving IT administrators the ability to remotely deploy and manage how the application is used by employees. This functionality saves IT departments significant time and effort by negating the need to physically recall every handset to update it with software. As part of the iPass Mobile Office service there are no additional contracts to sign, start-up fees to pay, or credentials to manage.

Freely available for download through the iPass Software Downloads page or on BlackBerry App World^TM, the new iPass client can be downloaded and accessed simply by entering an iPass username and password. iPass login credentials are not restricted to a certain number of devices so users are free to make use of the iPass service across multiple iPass-enabled notebooks or smartphones.

iPass Mobile Office also supports Windows Vista, XP and 2000; Max OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6; Symbian S60 Third Generation devices (versions 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2); Windows Mobile 5, 6 and Pocket PC 2003; and the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch.
