BARCELONA, SPAIN-3GSM World Congress-February 12, 2007-ACCESS CO., LTD.,
and Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL), today announced they will be demonstrating
the ACCESS Linux Platform(tm) software running on Marvell's s new
generation of application processors designed for feature handsets,
smartphones, GPS navigation systems, wireless handhelds and other
consumer electronic devices. The demonstrations can be seen in ACCESS'
booth at this year's 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain (Feb. 12 -
15).

The Marvell and ACCESS demonstration highlights the performance and cost
optimization for high volume handheld devices enabled by the combination
of the Marvell PXA320 (Monahan-P) and ACCESS Linux Platform.

The Marvell PXA3xx family of application processors (internally named
Monahans) based on third generation of Intel(r) XScale technology was
designed for cost efficiency by offering a broad roadmap that is
architecturally consistent for maximum software re-use. Marvell silicon
provides the headroom for advanced applications with intelligent power
management allowing manufacturers to differentiate current and future
offerings.

ACCESS Linux Platform is the industry's first truly integrated,
commercial grade Linux(r)-based platform designed for smartphones and
converged mobile devices. The ACCESS Linux Platform is designed to
provide handset and device manufacturers, operators and application
developers with an open, extensible and unifying platform to develop,
distribute and enhance a wide variety of mobile phones and converged
devices while carrying on the hallmarks of the Garnet(tm) OS (formerly
know as Palm OS(r)) operating system including an innovative and user
friendly User Interface design.

"The PXA3xx family of application processors from Marvell provides the
flexibility to address the requirements and meet the needs of handset
and device manufacturers, operators and third party application
developers," said Tomihisa Kamada, ACCESS co-founder and CTO. "The
PXA3xx series coupled with the ACCESS Linux Platform will provide our
licensees with an ideal solution for building state-of-the art mobile
phones and converged devices."

"We are excited to work with ACCESS to provide the mobile phone and
converged device markets with a solution that we believe will enable
them to get to speed their time to market," said Gary Forni, Director of
Platform Enabling, Marvell Semiconductor. "The ACCESS Linux Platform
together with the PXA3xx family of application process will provide
customers the flexibility to address a variety of markets with ultra low
power, high performance, innovative products."

In case you're unfamiliar with ACCESS, here is the company's official spiel:

ACCESS Linux Platform
The ACCESS Linux Platform is the industry's first fully integrated,
commercial grade Linux(r)-based platform for mobile phones and converged
devices. The ACCESS Linux Platform includes a Garnet(tm) OS (formerly
known as Palm OS(r)) compatibility layer, known as Garnet(tm) VM. ACCESS
has publicly demonstrated that most properly written 68K-based Garnet OS
applications will run on ACCESS Linux Platform-based devices with little
or no modification.

If you're wanting that translated into regular English, here you go:
ACCESS pretty much offers a Linux platform that is quite popular - in fact, you may use a phone that runs ACCESS, you just don't know about it! I could type out a list of items and gadgets that use ACCESS, but I would be here writing until next week.

I don't know what exactly to think about this collaboration, but hope it turns out to work well in the end.
