GREAT NECK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2000

Technology innovator DataBites Inc. announces the launch of its Internet Content Recorder(TM) (ICR(TM)) and the Web may never be the same again. The ICR uses revolutionary patent-pending technology to capture content from any Web page, no matter how embedded or password protected, and save it on a PC desktop or wireless device in an always-available, real-time data "bite." These personalized bites can be any Web-based content including streaming media, stock quotes, sports scores and password-protected or dynamically generated data.

The ICR means that Internet users can now create a totally customized Internet experience that eliminates time-consuming surfing and linking. The ICR enables users easily to select and record precisely the information they want from any Web site and then save it in a small window (a "bite") that is accessible from the desktop or wireless device, yet remains dynamically linked to the source page. The user need only click on the bite for live, up-to-the-minute access to baseball scores, stock prices, online auction results or any other piece of Web-based information.

The bites created by the ICR can even be grouped into "panels" for easier one click access to related information at once. The user can determine how frequently the bite is updated and even set an alarm to announce changes in content. Bites can be easily shared with other users by email. The ICR also enables Web sites and e-businesses to customize individual bites, termed "SiteBites," with skins and desktop icons that create a brand presence on the desktops of potential customers. However, unlike its competitors, DataBites allows users to create unique, infinitely personalized user-defined bites of information rather than providing only predefined content from a limited pool of providers.

If DataBites radically customizes the experience of PC users, it has every bit as much value for users of popular mobile web-enabled devices. The DataBites ICR means improved efficiency on the tiny screens and cramped keypads of most mobile devices by giving users access only to the information they deem relevant to their needs.

In addition to the do-it-yourself capabilities of the ICR, DataBites houses Bite Central, a large user created exchange of defined DataBites culled from the Internet's most entertaining and informative sites.
