e-SIM MMI to Provide Complex Language Support for Mobile Handsets with nCore's Multilingual Software; Companies Partner to Provide Complete Rendering and Editing of Complex Languages on Mobile Handsets.

JERUSALEM and OULU, Finland -- e-SIM Ltd. (OTCBB: ESIMF.OB), a leading provider of MMI (Man-Machine Interface) solutions for mobile handsets and nCore Ltd. a leading provider of internationalization solutions, announced today that they have partnered to supply complete multiple-language support for mobile handsets. To facilitate the success of this solution the companies have integrated nCore's multilingual engine, nScript, into e-SIM's MMI solution. e-SIM plans on supplying the nScript engine as part of its complete MMI offering to its customers.

With this partnership, e-SIM's customers will be able to sell handsets, which include complete editing and rendering support for languages such as Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Russian, Farsi, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Malay, Malayalam, Pashto, Takalog, Thai, Urdu and Vietnamese, in addition to the Latin and Chinese scripts already supported by e-SIM. nScript will also enable handsets, based on e-SIM's MMI solution, to include a rich text editor, which allows for the creation of styled text messages that can include in-line graphics.

e-SIM's market-proven, end-to-end MMI solution includes a complete MMI reference design, a comprehensive set of RapidPLUS(TM) development and customization tools, and a broad range of professional services. e-SIM's business model is based on licensing its MMI reference design, licensing its RapidPLUS(TM) development tools, and collecting runtime royalties for each handset incorporating its technology.

nCore's multilingual engine, nScript, is an embedded software component optimized for devices with limited memory and processor speed. The restricted operating environment, together with the complex algorithms needed for text layout, place tough demands on efficiency of design and implementation. nScript implements two main components of any user interface design: sophisticated text rendering and text input.

The e-SIM - nCore integrated product will be demonstrated at the upcoming 3GSM World Congress in Cannes between February 14th and 17th. To schedule a demonstration please contact mailto:[e-mail].

"Collaboration between e-SIM and nCore further enhances our complete, pre-integrated MMI solution," commented Reuven Kleinman, VP Business Development and Marketing at e-SIM. "With nCore's technology, e-SIM can now provide handset manufacturers a competitive edge entering the fast-growing emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East."

"We are excited to see the nCore localization technology integrated with e-SIM's complete MMI solution and look forward to a long term partnership. With this cooperation e-SIM licensees are getting the best value and performance proposition for designing handsets for all market areas." said Tapio Koivuniemi, CEO of nCore Ltd.
