San Mateo, CA – June 18, 2002 -Beatnik, Inc., a leading provider of standards-based structured audio software solutions for mobile devices, and Metrowerks, a premier provider of wireless development tools and services, today announced a technology partnership that will incorporate the Beatnik Audio Engine (BAE™) as the standard audio engine in Metrowerks’ line of CodeWarrior™ products for the Symbian operating system. Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS™, Professional Edition, Version 1.0, will integrate BAE™ technology that includes support for open standards, such as SP-MIDI and XMF file formats, enabling developers to create interactive audio applications such as games and multimedia messaging clients for a wide range of next generation mobile devices based on Symbian OS.

Beatnik’s miniBAE and mobileBAE products are specifically designed for resource-constrained environments such as mobile phones. They are highly efficient, small footprint, scaleable software engines supporting the real time synthesis of high quality polyphonic audio. Beatnik’s audio subsytems include a synthesizer, mixer, sample rate converter, linear audio API and support for MIDI, SPMIDI, XMF, RMF, MP3, WAV, AIFF and AU file formats.

"We look forward to working with Metrowerks and their community of more than 400,000 developers worldwide to provide an enhanced and more flexible toolset that will assist in the wireless application development process – including applications for games, user interface navigation and ringtones – where rich audio support plays a compelling role,” said Jeremy Copp, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Beatnik.

CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS, Professional Edition, is the first development toolset designed specifically for the Symbian OS™ v7.0, and is being used by Symbian, its licensees, and their partners to create system software and applications for the next generation of Symbian OS phones. The toolset enables wireless developers to develop, build and debug C++ and PersonalJava™ operating system components and applications, all within the same Integrated Development Environment (IDE), for Symbian OS mobile phones.
