Danger, Inc. Selected by AlwaysOn as Top 100 Private Company Award Winner.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Danger, Inc., a mobile Internet software and services company, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Company award winners. Danger, Inc. was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on a set of five criteria -- innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

The AO 100 was selected from over 1,000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts. The AO 100 consists of private companies at all stages of development, from early to late stage.

The unique benefits of Danger's hiptop(R) mobile Internet platform have helped the company gain substantial momentum in the last year, with three recent operator launches in Europe, including T-Mobile Germany, KPN in the Netherlands and E-Plus in Germany. Danger's platform is the software and services infrastructure that powers hiptop devices, including the T-Mobile Sidekick, delivering a superior mobile experience to users. The client/server system manages the secure transmission of data between the network and the device, speeds Web-page downloads, handles email attachments on the device and delivers a set of tightly-coupled applications that operate simultaneously.

Features and applications on hiptop devices include a mobile phone, push email, instant messaging, HTML Web browser, text-messaging, calendar, address book, an integrated digital camera and a catalog with downloadable applications and content. Further leveraging the network, each user receives access to a Web-based account to manage all of his or her data from a desktop computer.

"The AO 100 companies are shaping today's web-driven, connected environment," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "We were inundated with nominations from leading companies, many of which I hope will appear on our list next year. My congratulations to each AO 100 winner -- these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year."

"Danger is honored to receive this prestigious award from AlwaysOn," said Hank Nothhaft, chairman and CEO of Danger, Inc. "As we continue to grow Danger remains committed to delivering the leading mobile Internet experience in the industry."

The AO 100 will be honored at the AO2005: Innovation Summit at a VIP reception at 5:00pm on July 19, 2005 at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto, California.
