Victoria, British Columbia - September 9, 2002 - ACD Systems International Inc. (TSX:ASA), the digital imaging company, today announced that ACDSee™ 3.1 and ACDSee Mobile for Windows CE will be bundled with the new Fujitsu Siemens Computers' handheld computer, the Pocket LOOX. Pocket LOOX buyers will receive a mobile version of ACDSee as well as a desktop version of the popular image management software for use on their PC system. The agreement also sees the inclusion of the ACDSee brand on the Fujitsu Siemens Computers' Pocket LOOX marketing materials.

This integrated offering is at the forefront of mobile imaging. The Fujitsu Siemens Computers Pocket LOOX PDA, available in Europe as of mid-July, is based on the Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 operating system and delivers a mobile solution that meets the needs of individual and business customers.

The Pocket LOOX with ACDSee will be distributed throughout the growing European marketplace, the Middle East and Africa. According to InfoTrends Research Group, mobile imaging is expected to become a significant driver for digital imaging technologies with Europe and Japan leading the way in the advancement of wireless mobile communications technologies. The use of mobile business applications is expected to have particular success in Europe as users of wireless communications see mobile communications as an affordable way to enhance their conversations with snapshots and video.

Peter Esser, Executive Vice President for Volume Products & Supply Operations of Fujitsu Siemens Computers said, "We wanted to work with ACD Systems because of the company's well respected name and leading-edge digital technology.
