Migo Software Supports U3 USB Smart Drives; Lets Users Turn Almost Any PC Into Their Personal PC -- Online or Offline, at Work, Home, Anywhere They Go

Posted on: Thursday, 20 April 2006, 15:00 CDT

Migo Software announced today that its award-winning Migo(R) Mobile Computing Software products are fully compatible with U3(TM) USB smart drives. Migo software and a U3 smart drive mobilize the user's personal workspace by letting them transform any Windows(R)-based PC into their virtual PC. Combined, they enable users to carry their personalized desktop from one PC to another, without leaving a permanent footprint on the borrowed computer. Fully localized for the Japanese market, Migo Software is available for download from the Company's Japanese website, www.migosoftware.jp. The English version can be downloaded for the US website, www.migosoftware.com. Migo Software is a trade name of PowerHouse Technologies Group, Inc. (OTCBB:PWHT).

With Migo software and a U3 smart drive, users can easily transfer their documents, presentations, photos, and MP3 files as well as Microsoft(R) Outlook(R) email and Internet Explorer(R) favorites to any PC running Windows(R) 2000 or Windows XP. Users can also store their desktop icons, wallpaper and Internet settings on their U3 device to recreate their primary PC's familiar personal environment on other PCs.

Migo software automatically copies the user's critical data and settings on their PC onto a U3-powered USB smart drive with just a few easy clicks. Then, they simply plug their U3 smart drive into a USB port on another PC to temporarily transform it to look and behave like their own computer. Best of all, Migo automatically synchronizes the updated files to their home PC, eliminating the need for users to e-mail the altered documents back to themselves.

"People are always looking for ways to take their personal computing environment with them, without having to lug stacks of paperwork, CDs, floppies, zip drives or even their laptop, for that matter," said Jay Elliot, Migo Software Founder and Chairman of the Board. "Migo software running on a U3 smart drive mobilizes the power of personal computing."

"The combination of Migo software and the U3 smart drive computing platform is going to revolutionize the personal computing landscape because it improves the way mobile information is securely stored, carried and accessed," said Kate Purmal, chief executive officer of U3. "Users can lighten their load because they can now carry everything they need in their pocket."

Availability

Migo products are available for purchase through a growing network of resellers and dealers worldwide in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Korean, as well as Traditional and Simplified Chinese. In addition to pre-loaded availability on select U3 smart drives, the Migo Professional version can be downloaded on the Migo Software Japanese website (www.migosoftware.jp) and the Migo Software US website (www.migosoftware.com). The Japanese version retails for 6090 JPY. The English version is $49.99 USD.
