Las Vegas - CTIA Wireless 2006 - 4th April 2006 - Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), a leading enterprise infrastructure and mobile software company, today announced a strategic partnership with Cibenix, a leading provider of on-device, mobile Service Discovery solutions, that will enable carriers to bring a new level of data services to wireless subscribers. The partnership will pair Sybase® mFolio™, an advanced mobile browsing technology, with the Cibenix Client/Server mobile user interface, a highly intuitive, customizable and dynamic user experience on the device. This combined solution will allow carriers to offer their users the ability to access the Web, and personalized content and news sources through an interactive, intuitive, front-screen experience on any wireless device.

“Real-time, simple access to personalized content, such as RSS feeds, targeted pieces of web pages, personal photo galleries and audio and video podcasts, is essential,” said Garry McCollum, CEO, Cibenix. “With the addition of the Cibenix On-Device Portal technology to mFolio, carriers will be able to deliver a rich mobile web experience from a carrier-branded UI that provides subscribers with an intuitive and engaging interface to the mFolio experience and the existing wealth of data services offered by the carrier.”

Sybase and Cibenix will deliver the combined mFolio - Cibenix solution to wireless carriers, providing them with new sources of data revenue.
