Press Release Body = AUSTIN, TX, AND CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA - March 30, 2006 - Xitel
today introduced HiFi-Link for iPod nano, a unique docking station designed
specifically to connect Apple's iPod nano to home stereo equipment in high fidelity
while also offering full recharging and remote control capabilities.

"The iPod nano is a special product: it's small, but packs a powerful punch! Now,
our dedicated dock with its innovative features allows iPod nano to realize its full
audio potential," said Barrie Davis, Xitel's president. "HiFi-Link for iPod nano is
the easiest way to upgrade the audio capabilities of iPod nano and seamlessly
integrate it with anything from a top-of-the-line surround sound system through to a
simple boombox or even power speakers."

"We have built the HiFi-Link for iPod nano to do three important things: get the
best sound quality through your home stereo; control your nano from up to 50 feet
away; and recharge it so it's ready to go when you are," Davis continued. "You'll
be amazed at how easy it is to hook up your iPod nano and enjoy fantastic sound
quality with total convenience."

Extending Xitel's acclaimed HiFi-Link for iPod family of products, HiFi-Link for
iPod nano comes as a complete "Made for iPod" accessory. A compact black dock and
slim remote control are perfectly complemented by shielded audio cable with
gold-plated connectors. Particular care also has been given to the contoured design
that supports, guides and protects iPod nano for superior durability.

The iPod nano has fueled the overall growth of the iPod market, and with the
introduction of the new 1GB iPod nano, sales are expected to reach 53.2 million
units in 2006, according to Merrill Lynch. In addition, The NPD Group estimates
that for every $3 spent on an iPod, at least $1 is spent on an accessory. All of
these facts bode well for Xitel's unique docking station.
