BEIJING, April 12, 2011 - Ixonos, a world leader in creating wireless technologies, software and
solutions for mobile devices and services, will be showcasing the first in
the world 3D user interface built on the MeeGo platform at the Intel
Developer Forum (IDF) in Beijing on 12-13 April 2011.

Ixonos has developed a 3D user interface platform, which enables the
production of highly-customizable, easy-to-use and engaging user interface
designs on multiple operating systems for a variety of devices. The platform
utilizes Rightware's Kanzi solution with stereoscopic 3D capabilities. Ixonos
has built the platform from the interaction and information architecture up
towards the user interface layer ensuring top-form functionality and stunning
graphics.

"Utilizing thorough user research, technology savvy and market
understanding, we are able to design sophisticated 3D user interfaces which
offer compelling new ways for end users to interact and enjoy content in
mobile devices. Engaging 3D user experiences are a substantial way for our
customer companies to differentiate their product offering in the highly
competitive smartphone market," says Sami Paihonen, head of User Experience
Design Centre at Ixonos.

The 3D user interface technology showcase is the first in the world
executed on MeeGo. It also includes Sony's Crackle video streaming service
that Ixonos has been developing as a 3D mobile application showcase. "We are
demonstrating how a forward-thinking company can embrace new technology in
the further development of existing services to create better user
experiences," Paihonen explains.

"Ixonos has a long relationship with Intel and the MeeGo 3D UI showcase
is only one of our many ventures into the MeeGo realm since announcing our
support for Intel(R) architecture-handheld platforms in 2010," says Antti
Aumo, head of Global Solutions at Ixonos. Ixonos has solid experience in
Mobile Linux and experts involved in several MeeGo development projects. "We
are honoured to have the opportunity to showcase our cooperation with Intel
also at the MeeGo Software Development Forum on 14 April 2011," Aumo adds.

"We are very excited to be showcasing our 3D UI for the first time here
in Beijing, as this is fast becoming our key location in Asia. We already
have two established service centres in China and we have recently extended
our Device Creation Centre's operations to Beijing," explains Tomi Kyllonen,
head of Ixonos' APAC Region. The Chinese service centres have a significant
role in providing mobile design and development services to Ixonos' global
clientele.

Ixonos' exhibition stand at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing is GE23.
Along with the MeeGo 3D UI, Ixonos is showing the innovative Android
multi-window solution that was first introduced at the Mobile World Congress
2011 as well as other technology showcases.
