FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SMITH MICRO ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Company Ships First Enterprise Solution; Signs New Client ALLTEL Wireless

Aliso Viejo, Calif., April 21, 2005— Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI), a developer and marketer of a wide range of software and service solutions for the wireless and Internet markets, today reported its first quarter 2005 results.

The company reported net revenues of $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to $2.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2004. The company’s net loss of $128,000 in the first quarter of 2005 resulted in a net loss of $.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $103,000 in the first quarter of 2004 or net income of $.01 per basic and diluted share. The company also reported a backlog entering into the second quarter of 2005 of $820,000.

The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $29.5 million. Cash inflows for the first quarter included a $20.8 million private placement through C.E. Unterberg Towbin to select institutional investors. Proceeds from the private placement were raised to support product diversification and the future acquisitions of complementary technologies or companies.

“In a very new and growing market, such as the high-speed wireless data market we address, there will sometimes, as we saw this quarter, be growing pains. We do believe that the challenges we faced this quarter with our largest carrier customer have been resolved, and we look forward to returning to normal growth throughout the second half of 2005,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Despite these challenges, Verizon added 16 additional cities in January and is moving to expand its subscriber base in its existing cities,” Mr. Smith continued. “During the quarter we also added ALLTEL Wireless as a new customer, continuing our leadership in the

wireless software marketplace. Finally, just last week, QuickLink Mobile Enterprise Solution is now available to the enterprise customer. We believe the Enterprise Solution has long term potential to be as big as our OEM business, however, we are obviously at the very early stages of this rollout.”

Mr. Smith concluded, “It is an exciting time to be in the emerging high-speed wireless data market as many large wireless carriers devote significant resources to rolling out this new service. As our customers add more subscribers, Smith Micro will benefit as the sole provider of wireless connectivity software to Verizon, ALLTEL, Dobson and others, who collectively garner a majority of the North America wireless data market. As a result, we continue to expect year over year growth in both revenues and in profitability for the fiscal year 2005.”

The company also filed today a Form 8K, which reported that on April 15, 2005, Deloitte & Touche LLP provided notice to the Audit Committee of the Board of the Directors of Smith Micro that it declined to stand for re-appointment as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm based on staffing considerations and capacity issues at Deloitte. The Audit Committee will immediately commence a search for a new independent public accounting firm to replace Deloitte but has not had the opportunity to begin to identify candidates.

Smith Micro will hold an investor conference call today, April 21, 2005, at 4:30 pm EDT to discuss the company’s first quarter financial results. Investors may access the conference call over the Internet via the company’s website www.smithmicro.com or at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/playerlink.zhtml?c=107760&s=wm&e=1051163.
