Featured Titles Include Atkins Carb Counter, Keyoe Diet & Exercise Assistant V6.0 and Weight Watchers On-the-Go

palmOne Press Release:  With 2004 drawing to a close and New Year’s 2005 merely days away, millions of Americans are making resolutions to lose weight, get into shape and lead happier, healthier lives. Today, palmOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLMO) announced the availability of three new mobile applications based on some of the most well-known weight-management and lifestyle programs on the market — Atkins, Keyoe and Weight Watchers.

Nearly 60 percent of Americans make New Year’s resolutions around one health theme or another every year(1). These new applications — which add to the extensive library of more than 100 diet and exercise titles already available for palmOne(TM) handhelds and smartphones — are helping individuals achieve their health and fitness goals by leveraging the power, portability and convenience of mobile technology. Using mobile devices such as palmOne’s popular Zire(TM) 31 or Tungsten(TM) E handhelds or Treo(TM) smartphone, individuals can carry a host of valuable weight-control and fitness tools with them everywhere they go. Adding to these mobile devices’ already powerful capabilities to organize busy lives, communicate with friends, family and business colleagues, and enjoy vibrant games and multimedia, the new Atkins Carb Counter, Keyoe Diet & Exercise Assistant V6.0 and Weight Watchers(R) On-the-Go(TM) applications ensure individuals are never out of reach from the tools they need to achieve success with their weight-management and fitness regimen of choice.

"The marriage of palmOne’s devices with mobile versions of popular weight-management and lifestyle software was timed for 2005 resolution revelers," said Page Murray, vice president of marketing at palmOne. "Handheld computers and smartphones from palmOne have become a cultural icon of people who are winning at work, home and life. Our combined solution helps eliminate excuses for not remembering to exercise or eat healthier, as well as send birthday cards or schedule meetings."

Today, the following three weight-management applications are now available for palmOne handhelds and smartphones:

     *  Atkins Carb Counter — Atkins Carb Counter is one of the first
        Atkins-branded software applications designed to help on-the-go people
        monitor their daily carb intake by providing information they need to
        follow a controlled-carbohydrate lifestyle.  The Atkins Nutritional
        Approach(TM) is a scientifically validated nutritional strategy for
        weight control and better health based upon controlling carbohydrate
        consumption.

     *  Keyoe Diet & Exercise Assistant V6.0 — Diet & Exercise Assistant lets
        users select a standard diet plan: low calorie, low carbohydrate, low
        fat or customize your own plan.  New features include a 10,000 food
        item database; logbook to track meals and exercise; nutrient tables to
        compare food consumption to daily goals; color charts and graphs; body
        fat calculator; daily journal; optional desktop application with
        handheld synchronization; and much more.

     *  Weight Watchers On-the-Go — With Weight Watchers On-the-Go,
        WeightWatchers.com subscribers have access to a robust set of
        interactive weight-loss tools for their handheld devices to help them
        stay on track. Weight Watchers On-the-Go is the only mobile weight
        loss application that synchronizes with an individual’s web-based
        account via the Internet, so that plan information is kept up-to-date
        between the handheld and the user’s WeightWatchers.com account — no
        double entry required.
