SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Celio Corp today announced that its REDFLY Mobile Companion is now compatible
with select BlackBerry smartphones. The REDFLY for BlackBerry software driver is
available to download today. 

The REDFLY Mobile Companion is not a computer; it`s simply a large screen and
full keyboard for a smartphone. With the REDFLY, BlackBerry smartphone customers
now have the ability to increase their productivity typing long emails, editing
documents, browsing web content and more using their existing smartphone
applications and data plan. 

Productivity is top of mind these days for mobile professionals, and according
to the latest research by the technology economists at OMNI Consulting Group,
this poses a key inflection point in the evolution of smartphone technology. 

"Across the host of economic factors that matter most in selecting a technology
such as REDFLY, the net improvement of productivity remains decisive in choosing
a platform that enhances the ability to accomplish more work output with
existing smartphone investments." said Frank J. Bernhard, managing principal of
the supply chain and telecommunications practice at OMNI Consulting Group. "Case
data shows this trend to be positive in how users can actualize their fullest
potential of the BlackBerry smartphone itself." 

"BlackBerry is a leader in the smartphone market and has an overwhelming
acceptance among business users," said Kirt Bailey, president and CEO of Celio
Corp. "We`re confident that BlackBerry smartphone customers will enjoy the
convenience of using REDFLY`s larger screen and keyboard to type emails, browse
the Internet, and edit documents." 

The REDFLY Mobile Companion comes in two models - the C8N and C7 - and has a
large screen, full QWERTY keyboard, touchpad, up to an 8-hour battery, and USB,
VGA and media ports. The REDFLY has no OS, storage or processor, but uses the
BlackBerry smartphone`s computing power to give users the ability to interact
with the smartphone`s familiar user interface on an 800x480 resolution display.
The REDFLY is currently also compatible with more than 60 Windows Mobile
devices. 

At launch, the REDFLY is supporting the BlackBerry Bold 9000, BlackBerry Curve
8900 and BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphones. The driver for BlackBerry smartphones
