BACHMANN/ANYCOM UNVEIL WIRELESS PRINTING FOR PALM OS.Bachmann Software and Anycom, Inc. have announced that Bachmann's Bluetooth-enabled PrintBoy(TM) Anywhere software will be available with Anycom's Bluetooth printer module. PrintBoy Anywhere allows Palm OS(R) users to wirelessly print their data via Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate without the encumbrance of cables. As the leading producer of Bluetooth data products, Anycom markets a Bluetooth printer adapter that allows users to upgrade a parallel-based printer to be Bluetooth- compatible. The combination of Anycom's print adapter and PrintBoy Anywhere provide Palm OS users equipped with Bluetooth-enabled handhelds to easily print their information to read, share or exchange. "After recently announcing our new PM-2002 printer module, we are pleased to partner with Bachmann Software to distribute their new PrintBoy software enabling Palm users to print to any parallel printer," said Tom Pocsics, Anycom, Inc.'s president. "As the first company to demonstrate Bluetooth printing from a Palm OS device, we are very excited to have established such a strategic distribution partner in Anycom," said Dan Reuvers, Bachmann Software's vice president of business development. "We expect this agreement to be an ideal means of getting our solution to the people that need it." A free trial version of PrintBoy Anywhere software will be distributed with each of Anycom's Bluetooth printer modules. PrintBoy Anywhere will also be available for sale from Anycom, with an expected MSRP of $39.99 each. PrintBoy Anywhere is available at http://www.anycom.com, or http://www.bachmannsoftware.com. Current users of PrintBoy Deluxe may upgrade to PrintBoy Anywhere (including Bluetooth and network printing support) for $14.99 at Bachmann Software's website.
