Press Release Body: Florence, KY-November 20, 2007-BlueStar, the leading innovator
in solutions-based distribution for Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID
products, is announcing its distribution of the new LXE MX8 rugged wireless handheld
computer for scan-intensive supply-chain applications.

The MX8 is LXE's smallest handheld offering. It measures 7.6 in. long and weighs
less than 13 ounces, with battery and several options. The bright touchscreen and
backlit keys improve visibility in less-than-optimum lighting conditions. Scanning
options include standard-range laser scanners and 1D and 2D imagers. The MX8 mobile
computer comes standard with an IEEE 802.11b/g radio and Bluetooth technology, and
runs on Windows® CE 5.0 Professional. It also features exceptional battery
performance, testing at 10+ hours of intensive operation on a single charge.

In addition, the MX8 is a multimodal device that comes "voice-ready" out of the box,
complete with LXE's ToughTalkT voice recognition technology-the specialized
combination of LXE's trademark ruggedized system design, advanced audio circuitry,
and noise-canceling techniques.

"Adding the MX8 handheld computer to our product line allows us to offer an
effective data-collection device for almost any conceivable distribution task," says
Paul Mounkes, LXE's Marketing Manager. "It's a particularly good fit for
scan-intensive activities, and the 2D-imager option works well in manufacturing
environments.

The MX8 also gives LXE a strong entry into the retail storefront. The reality is
that the MX8 device truly excels in a wide range of supply chain and retail
operations because it's small and lightweight, yet rugged enough to take a beating."

"We are excited to add the MX8 to the LXE line card here at BlueStar," says Mark
Fraker, BlueStar's VP of Marketing. "The MX8 is a unique, budget-friendly solution
our customers can sell into rugged warehouses as well as the retail store front."
