PARIS,
FRANCE - September 10, 2002-In conjunction
with Apple Expo Paris, Detto Technologies
announced today that it has partnered
with America's #1 USB connectivity vendor,
Keyspan*, on Move2Mac, its upcoming migration
solution that allows PC users to migrate
to the Apple Macintosh®.
Move2Mac, a winner of Best of Macworld
New York 2002, enables PC users to quickly
and easily move personal information from
a Windows-based PC to a Mac. Detto can
be found at Paris Apple Expo Booth #B74.
Detto
will leverage Keyspan's unique transportation
layer and expertise on the Mac platform
to develop Move2Mac. Keyspan will also
provide Detto with a Parallel-to-USB cable
for Move2Mac customers moving from Windows®
95 PCs and PCs with no USB port. Keyspan's
expertise in transport connectivity for
the Mac marketplace, combined with Detto's
expertise in PCs and data transfer technology
will provide PC users with the only viable
migration solution to switch to the Mac.
"Because
the PC to Mac migration process has been
known to be a difficult process, it was
important for us to choose a connectivity
vendor that intimately knows the Mac and
is a trusted name in the Mac community,"
said Larry Mana'o, CEO of Detto Technologies.
"Detto's expertise in the PC Market
and Keyspan's expertise in the Mac market
gives Move2Mac users the confidence that
their information will be safely and seamlessly
migrated from their PC to their new Mac."
"We
partnered with Detto Technologies because
our retail partners tell us that Apple's
"switch" campaign has been successful
in getting more PC users to purchase a
Mac," said Mike Ridenhour, president
of Keyspan. "Detto's Move2Mac solution
is the first solution in the marketplace
to simplify the task of switching platforms."
