GeoWorks Provides GEOS System Software on Casio/Tandy's Zoomer Product
Announced for Fall Availability

Chicago, June 3, 1993--GeoWorks, the Berkeley, CA, developer of
sophisticated system software, today joined Casio, Inc., Tandy
Corporation, Palm Computing, Intuit and America Online to announce the
availability of the Zoomer Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) at the Summer
Consumer Electronics Show being held here through June 6.

At the announcement, the companies provided specifics on their joint
project: a handheld, pen-based device scheduled to be available in
October. GeoWorks is providing the underlying system software, GEOS, which
provides rich functionality while delivering "unconscious" battery life of
up to 100 hours so consumers won't need to remember to recharge their
devices every day to have access to their important information. Zoomer is
the first device enabled by the GEOS technology in the emerging class of
low-cost hardware that combines sophisticated consumer electronics,
computer, and communications capabilities.

GEOS is a leading edge, object oriented, graphical operating system
designed to meet the stringent resource requirements of these new compact,
lightweight, yet powerful devices. "A graphical environment running on
inexpensive, single chip processors is unheard of to date in this emerging
market," said Brian Dougherty, CEO of GeoWorks. "We have been working for
the past five years to develop an operating system that will provide high
quality graphics without demanding expensive system resources. This is a
very exciting day to see the first product to prove our vision a reality
shown to the public."

John V. Roach, chairman and chief executive officer of Tandy Corporation,
said "GeoWorks was able to deliver the system software required to meet
the design restrictions of Zoomer. It has 100 plus hours of battery life,
the simplicity of pen and paper, the logical power of a computer and the
ability to connect to a world of information in a pocket-sized device
weighing less than one pound."

"We believe Zoomer will be a tremendous success by combining a compelling
form factor along with sophisticated applications. But at its core is
GEOS, the only system software available on the market today that can
deliver robust functionality with very limited hardware resources. This
will enable Zoomer to be a truly open system that will benefit customers
through a wide range of after market applications, extending the
functionality of Zoomer," said Bruce Mendel, director of marketing at
Casio's PCD (Personal Communications Division).

GeoWorks' vision for the past ten years has been to enable mass market
computing. Founded with the belief that this market holds tremendous
potential, GeoWorks has been developing system software to meet the needs
of a wide range of consumer computing devices from PDAs to TVs. Zoomer is
the first device that delivers the right functionality at the right price
point to make this market explode. "GeoWorks is thrilled to be a part of
such an exciting product and looks forward to continuing to innovate with
our partners Casio and Tandy," said Brian Dougherty.

GeoWorks, located in Berkeley, California, is the developer and publisher
of the acclaimed GEOS graphical operating system and of Ensemble
application software. The company provides sophisticated and highly
efficient system software and markets targeted applications for an
emerging class of devices designed to communicate, entertain and manage
information for mass market consumers. GeoWorks products are available
worldwide through OEM, dealer channels and republishers.
