ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 04, 2007 -- NIRI ANNUAL CONFERENCE -- Marketwire, a full-service newswire and communications workflow solutions provider, today announced a partnership with Dashboard Communication Corporation to provide the exclusive newswire feed on Dashboard Mobile Financial(TM), offering Marketwire clients an additional distribution point for news targeted to the investment community.

Through this deal, Marketwire is the only North American newswire whose clients' corporate news will be distributed to the institutional investment community across all of North America and the United Kingdom through the Dashboard Mobile Financial application on RIM's BlackBerry® mobile devices.

An entirely new medium for the financial industry, Dashboard Mobile Financial is the first RSS-based mobile reader designed exclusively for investment dealers, their staff and clients. It aggregates investment dealer research and makes it possible to open and read full reports, including charts and graphs, scan thumbnails, and open specific pages or images on BlackBerry mobile devices. In addition to the institutional marketplace, Dashboard Mobile Financial is now distributed to retail financial advisors and top retail clients of advisors. Now they have an exclusive location on their BlackBerry for content distribution, effectively eliminating traditional e-mail inbox overload and spam.

"Dashboard Mobile Financial is designed to be a one-stop location for institutional and retail investors," said Andrew Jordan, CEO, Dashboard Communication Corporation. "In addition to providing a visually appealing display of investment research and other financial industry content, we wanted to provide a comprehensive offering of financial and market news. Marketwire was that piece of the puzzle for us, and we're thrilled to partner with them to bring this solution to the institutional investment community."

Through the Dashboard Mobile Financial application, Marketwire joins prestigious news provider the National Post and is included with other readily available news from financial news providers such as Reuters and the Financial Times.

"Marketwire once again brings innovation to our clients and the newswire industry by pushing market news content to mobile devices," said Thom Brodeur, senior vice president, global strategy and development for Marketwire. "Dashboard Mobile Financial is an innovative application designed to put financial news directly into the hands of investors -- a critical audience for the investor relations and corporate communications professionals who rely on us for timely disclosure of their corporate news and to raise the visibility of their brands with the all-important financial community."
