Beijing, July 24, 2000 --
Chinese Internet portal SOHU.com is now providing an automatic Internet link
through Compaq Computer's innovative iPAQ units.
iPAQ users can now automatically access SOHU.com's homepage by simply
pressing the Hot Key function on iPAQ computer keyboards. This new default
option gives iPAQ users a more convenient way of accessing SOHU's products and
services. This new marketing arrangement reaffirms SOHU.com's position as a
leading brand presence in China's Internet industry.

departure from the traditional PC for Compaq and the industry. It is at the
forefront of the post-PC era - the type of simple product companies require for
an Internet-based computing model."

supplier of computing systems in the world. Compaq products and services are
sold in more than 200 countries, and its new SOHU.com linked iPAQ computers will
