Devicescape and Deutsche Telekom enable easier access for users and
devices to T-Mobile Networks

Devicescape users can now purchase access to the T-Mobile HotSpot
network on both English and German language Devicescape sites

London, 22nd July, 2008 - Devicescape Software and Deutsche Telekom AG,
Europe's largest telecommunications company, today announced that they
have integrated their services to enable easier access for users and
more types of devices onto T-Mobile HotSpot networks. To make it
convenient for Devicescape members to find and use the more than 10,000
plus T- Mobile HotSpot locations across Germany and Europe, Devicescape
now sells service subscriptions and vouchers directly on member's
account pages. By integrating T-Mobile HotSpot access directly into the
Devicescape solution Deutsche Telekom can leverage the large base of
Devicescape users to drive revenue and increase network usage.

"We have a growing member base of WiFi device owners who enjoy easy and
seamless connections from all their devices across Europe" said Dave
Fraser, CEO, Devicescape. "By offering a simple and convenient way to
purchase T-Mobile HotSpot access from member account pages, we hope to
make their WiFi experience even better and to increase the number of
Devicescape members who use T-Mobile."

"By partnering with Devicescape earlier in the year, Deutsche Telekom
showed its commitment to enabling as many WiFi devices as possible to
enjoy seamless and secure access to the T-Mobile HotSpot network," said
Andreas Morschhausen, Head of Product Management, Mobile Access,
Deutsche Telekom. "Today we have taken a step to make access to T-Mobile
HotSpot networks even easier for all Devicescape members and we look
forward to future integrations that continue to improve consumer's
experience of our service."

This announcement is the latest development in the partnership between
the two companies that was made public at Mobile World Congress
(Barcelona, Spain) in February 2008 which enables T-Home and T-Mobile
users to enjoy automatic wireless access whenever they are within range
of a T-Mobile HotSpot. (See the press release: Devicescape Forms
Partnership with Deutsche Telekom to Bring Easy Access to a Wide Range
of WiFi Enabled Devices.)

With many of Deutsche Telekom's 8,000 plus T-Mobile HotSpots located in
Germany, relevant pages on the Devicescape website are now available in
both English and German for maximum ease-of-use for German-speaking
consumers. Access to the German language pages is via a German flag
conveniently situated on the website's home page. Customers can purchase
service subscriptions and vouchers via a simple "buy" button on the
Devicescape website when they are looking to "add a hotspot" to increase
their coverage.

The award-winning Devicescape solution eliminates the need for users to
type in cumbersome login and password information and supports automatic
login for devices with or without browsers. Devicescape also automates
access at roaming partner hotspots further improving consumer
experience, expanding coverage for travelers and building an important
part of operator businesses. Additionally, operators that offer both
cellular and WiFi access can use Devicescape to seamlessly shift users
from costly and crowded cellular networks onto more cost-affective WiFi
networks.

Devicescape is free for consumers and the software is available for
popular devices at www.devicescape.com including Nokia Eseries and
Nseries, Windows Mobile Smartphones, laptops with Mac OSX, Windows XP
and Vista, and the iPhone and iPod touch -with many more planned.
Development partners can also work with the company to include the
Devicescape service in their products.
