LOS ANGELES, CTIA Wirelees IT & Entertainment 2006, Sept. 12 -- Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI), a developer of a wide range of software products and services for the wireless market, announces QuickLink(C) Music, an intuitive, PC-based multimedia manager for mobile phones.

This is a testament to our ability to develop unique solutions that benefit our wireless customers' service offerings," said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of SMSI.
