Press Release Summary: - Focus Enhancements' UWB Wireless will be the Enabling
Technology -




Press Release Body: Campbell, Calif. - Jan. 15, 2008 - Focus Enhancements, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FCSE), a worldwide leader in Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless technology, is
partnering with Macally to deliver wireless USB for disk storage, which will be
demonstrated at Macworld in San Francisco, January 15th to the 18th, at the Moscone
Center, booth 926 in the South Hall.

Macally produces accessories for MP3 Players, input devices, mobile accessories and
disk drive enclosures. Macally is a leading supplier of accessories for Apple
products, including the iPhone and iPod.

"More and more portable electronic devices are media oriented," said Mike Chen from
Macally's peripheral group. "Users want to carry large amounts of pictures, music
and video around with them and are increasingly using portable storage to do so. We
find connecting to these storage devices wirelessly is much more desirable than
remembering to carry a cable. That's why we are working with Focus Enhancements to
develop wireless disk technology."

"UWB technology is ideally suited to moving large amounts of media files from one
place to another," said Mark Zadeh, vice president of sales for Focus Enhancements'
semiconductor group. "We are excited to be working with Macally to enable its
storage devices to work wirelessly. This expands upon the positive response we
received at 2008 International CES last week for our wireless USB technology, which
has been incorporated into hub and dongles and is being incorporated into reference
designs for advanced media devices."
