SANAKO has announced the launch of its new multimedia science teaching solution
optimized for use with the Intel-powered Classmate PC design.  SANAKO has also
joined the Intel(R) Learning Series Alliance, working with Intel to provide
language and science learning applications for students around the world.

SANAKO Study Science Lab provides teachers and students with true-to-life lab
experiences in a safe environment. The solution includes stimulating and
interactive multimedia content* for simulating science experiments, along with
essential classroom management tools to help teachers support students as they
engage in tests. It provides an easy and effective resource to help students
reinforce theoretical knowledge by engaging in accurately-simulated experiments.

Built on Intel(R) architecture and powered by the Intel(R) AtomTM processor, the
Intel-powered classmate PC offers affordable and functional designs to support a
wide variety of classroom applications and activities. Designed with students in
mind, classmate PCs are small and light enough for a child to easily carry.
Equipped with a water-resistant keyboard, the classmate PC is also "backpack
friendly" - able to withstand bumping in a backpack and accidental drops by
students. 

SANAKO's state-of-the-art educational software and live language learning
solutions combined with various services will complement the education value of
the classmate PCs.

A Shared Vision of Improved Learning Outcomes
The collaboration between SANAKO and Intel will provide innovative solutions,
backed by Finnish pedagogical know-how to improve internet-era learning outcomes
in a variety of modern learning styles.

Juha Merinen , SANAKO Executive Vice President for Sales and Partnerships said
the global collaboration with Intel  - a key player providing 21st century
computing solutions to the educational market  -  will bring teaching and
learning into the rapidly evolving era of pedagogically harmonized and
transparent learning processes.

"Our goal is to co-operate with the highest quality partners worldwide to
provide value-added solutions and services for our customers.  Our combined
solutions will cater to managed, collaborative and personalized learning
approaches to ensure best results. We are delighted to work with the
Intel-powered classmate PC to usher in a new era of best-in-class solutions for
educators and students globally."

Intel's Gehad Galal added, "Our goal is to work with companies to provide
students with high quality solutions for education. We are pleased to work with
