EVEN MORE NEWS HOTT OFF THE WIRES Business Editors CES 2000 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2000--e.Digital Corp. (OTCBB:EDIG) announced today that its portable Internet music player design, using IBM's 340 MB Microdrive(TM), will debut today in the IBM Technology Suite inside the Las Vegas Convention Center and will remain on display through Saturday during this week's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The design is capable of holding over five and a half hours of compressed, high-quality music downloaded from the Internet or a user's personal CD collection. Fred Falk, president and chief executive officer of e.Digital, said, "The enormous capacity and small, standard form factor of IBM's Microdrive immediately attracted our attention, not only for music applications, but also for future video applications in our portable player designs. We are dedicated to integrating the latest standards and technologies into product designs for our OEM customers and we are happy to demonstrate the huge potential of the Internet music market using the Microdrive in this design." Michael Kuptz, IBM Microdrive Products business line manager, added, "IBM's Microdrive, a tiny, removable, 340 MB hard drive the size of a matchbook, is suitable for use in all sorts of portable devices. e.Digital is one of the first companies to seize the opportunity to incorporate the Microdrive into a portable device where smaller size, greater capacity, and quick access to data are of benefit to the end user." For a press meeting about IBM Microdrive, please leave a message for Wendy Sullivan, IBM Corp., at 408/256-6751. Television crews are welcome. e.Digital's portable multi-codec Internet music player design is available for licensing by consumer electronics manufacturers and other OEM partners.
