OpenMoko Signs Deal With German Distributor Pulster

Early Success of Neo Open Source Mobile Platform in German Market
Gets the Attention of Mobile Device Distributor
TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)--OpenMoko, creator of the first completely integrated open source
mobile platform, today announced it has inked a deal with mobile
device distributor, Pulster, in Germany. The agreement comes fresh on
the heels of Openmoko's announcement that it has become an independent
subsidiary of Taiwan powerhouse, FIC. Pulster specializes in online
sales of mobile devices, selling into the industrial and education
markets with focus on Linux-based solutions.

Pulster will distribute the Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner, a
Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device with sophisticated graphics capable of
handing a new generation of open source mobile applications. OpenMoko
anticipates success for FreeRunner based on early popularity of the
company's first mobile platform, the Neo 1973.

"Distribution is the key to popularizing open source devices in
the industrial, education, and consumer markets," said Sean
Moss-Pultz, CEO of OpenMoko. "As we forge new ground with breakthrough
devices built on the OpenMoko Neo mobile platform, we rely on
knowledgeable distributors. Pulster has demonstrated its commitment to
furthering open source and brings our platform to important markets."

"The first version of the Neo was very popular in Germany," said
Harry Tsai, Sales Manager OpenMoko "More units per capita were sold in
Germany than anywhere else in the world. We expect Pulster to provide
excellent momentum for FreeRunner, the next version of the Neo using
their ability to penetrate markets seeking to embrace the new
generation of free and open source devices."

"We are gratified to be the lead distributor for OpenMoko's latest
product," said Christoph Pulster, CEO Pulster. "We know the needs of
the German market and the timing is ideal for a company with the
expertise and flexibility of OpenMoko and backing of FIC to launch
FOSS products into the German consumer and industrial markets."
