Major Japanese OEM Selects InPlay's Digital Pen and Touch Solutions for Rugged Tablet PCs

  
    
  
  
    
      InPlay Technologies (NASDAQ: NPLA) has received a conditional purchase 
      order for its dual-mode, digital pen-and-touch solution from a leading 
      Japanese electronics manufacturer. InPlay’s 
      technology has met a full range of rigorous testing and is designed into 
      an updated line of rugged tablet PCs. The purchase order is contingent 
      upon successful completion of pre-production qualification.
    
    
      “We feel that it is a strong validation of our 
      technology and the benefits we bring to this market to be selected by a 
      major Japanese OEM. Our digital pen and touch screen product is designed 
      to deliver a high-quality user experience consistent with our customer’s 
      stringent requirements for durability,” said 
      Ramesh Ramchandani, president and COO, InPlay.
    
    
      Once final requirements are met, production is expected to begin in 
      fourth quarter 2008. InPlay estimates that the project will generate 
      approximately $1 million in revenue annually.
    
    
      InPlay offers the only digital communication pen technology on the 
      market, bringing significant advantages over traditional analog 
      products. With InPlay’s integrated digital pen 
      and touch solutions, the system automatically recognizes pen or finger 
      input, allowing the user to choose the most natural and effective input 
      method. The system also incorporates palm rejection to avoid 
      unintentional input, thereby creating a comfortable user experience. The 
      active digital pen optimizes handwriting recognition and allows for 
      added digital features, while the touch screen offers a quick intuitive 
      interface for cursor selection and navigation.
