TD Waterhouse Is First Online Financial Services Provider To Offer Easy Access For Users of Pocket PC.

TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. the global online financial services firm, today became the first online financial services firm to launch a web site designed for the Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC platform. TD Waterhouse Wireless for Pocket PC provides TD Waterhouse's U.S. customers with cutting-edge access to their investment accounts through personal digital assistants powered by the Pocket PC platform.

TD Waterhouse Wireless for Pocket PC is specially formatted to fit on smaller handheld screens, and is optimized for wireless networks. Mobile Pocket PC users can reach the site at http://www.tdwaterhouse.com, where they will be automatically routed to the custom Pocket PC site.

TD Waterhouse customers in the U.S. can place stock, mutual fund and option orders, as well as access account balances, holdings, history, order status, unlimited real-time quotes, option chains and extensive research.

"Making it easy for customers to manage their investments is our goal, and that's why we focused on Microsoft's cutting-edge Pocket PC platform.

"The launch of Pocket PC lets us bring our easy-to-use desktop experience to customers virtually anytime and anyplace."

"TD Waterhouse has been a leader in adopting Pocket PC technology and we are thrilled to see their new customer site go live," said Ben Waldman, vice president for the Mobility Group at Microsoft Corp.
