XtremeMac First to Market With Comprehensive Line of iPod nano Products

Leading iPod accessories
manufacturer XtremeMac today announced a comprehensive line of products
compatible with Apple's new iPod nano. The lineup includes a variety of cases,
chargers and car accessories as well as a new version of the company's best-
selling AirPlay FM Transmitter, dubbed AirPlay2, and MicroBlast, the first
portable speakers designed specifically for iPod nano.
All of the new products are expected to be shipping between now and the
first week of November. They are available through the company's website at
http://www.xtrememac.com and will also be sold through several major
retailers. "Just six weeks after the launch of iPod shuffle, XtremeMac
announced the most extensive line of accessories of any manufacturer," said
XtremeMac CEO Gary Bart. "Now, four weeks after the launch of the iPod nano,
we're doing it again by announcing 12 new products with 37 new SKUs. We are
pleased to note that all of these products will be rolling out over the next
few weeks and most will be available in the Apple Retail Stores in time for
the holiday shopping season."

XtremeMac's new line of accessories includes:

* AirPlay2 FM Transmitter: An updated version of XtremeMac's best-selling
FM transmitter designed to work with iPod nano as well as iPod and iPod mini.
New features include three programmable station presets, mono mode for better
reception in crowded radio markets, and a vibrant blue display with easy-to-
read white characters. Unlike the original AirPlay, AirPlay2 connects to the
iPod through the Dock Connector (rather than the headphone port) and features
an additional pass-through female Dock Connector for connecting chargers like
XtremeMac's Car Charger and MicroFlex Car. AirPlay2 is as thin and narrow as
the iPod nano and is available in black or white for $59.95

* MicroBlast: The first portable speakers designed specifically for iPod
nano, MicroBlast enables you to play and charge iPod nano simultaneously. It
features four speakers and three watts per channel for outstanding sound
quality in an ultra-compact and stylish package. The crystal clear protective
cover allows you to safely leave iPod nano docked while on the go and doubles
as a base for the unit when opened. MicroBlast includes a travel pouch as well
as interchangeable black and white frames to match either iPod nano. It is
powered by the included AC adapter or four AA batteries and is available for
$119.95

* Iconz: Debuting just one week after XtremeMac announced licensing
agreements with several major entertainment companies and Major League
Baseball, these cases are the first wave of XtremeMac products to feature pop
culture icons. Covering the entire face of iPod nano while providing play-
through coverage for the Click Wheel and a built-in screen protector, Iconz
combine eye-catching artwork with complete protection. Available in 12 designs
including SpongeBob SquarePants, Darth Vader, Bart Simpson, Speed Racer,
Scooby Doo, Batman and Tweety Bird as well as team logos of the New York
Yankees, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, and Los
Angeles Angels for $24.95

* TuffWrap: A silicone case with attitude, featuring stylish curves around
iPod nano's Click Wheel and display, a clear screen protector and tread-style
side grips. Available in nine new colors packaged in groups of three for
$24.95 or a single translucent white case for $19.95

* MicroFlex Car: A flexible car mounting system that positions iPod nano
exactly where you want it while charging it through your vehicle's 12-volt
accessory outlet. MicroFlex Car is compatible with AirPlay2 and XtremeMac's
Cassette Adapter, allowing you to play iPod through your car stereo while
charging. Available in black for $49.95 or bundled with a black cassette
adapter for $69.95

* Car Charger: An updated version of XtremeMac's popular car charger that
allows you to power and charge any Dock Connector iPod through a 12-volt
accessory outlet. Available in black or white for $19.95 or bundled with
matching AirPlay2 for $79.95

* SportWrap: This dramatically slimmed-down version of the popular
SportWrap protects iPod nano from moisture while you bike, jog, walk or work
out by securing it to your arm or wrist with one of two adjustable Velcro
straps. SportWrap features durable construction and play-through protection
for iPod nano's Click Wheel and display. Available in black for $29.95

* MicroSport: A unique solution for taking iPod nano with you while
jogging or walking, this rugged foam rubber grip is designed to fit
comfortably in the palm of your hand and is secured with an adjustable hand
strap. Available in black or purple for $29.95

resistant plastic that showcases iPod nano's design and provides full access
to its controls. Each iceFrame comes with interchangeable Click Wheel accent
rings in black, white, red and blue and matching connector posts for $24.95

* MicroShield: A clear, two-piece shield that snaps securely onto the
front and back of iPod nano providing protection from scratches and an
integrated belt clip. Available for $19.95

stitching as well as a removable carabiner. MicroGlove provides clear screen
protection and play-through Click Wheel protection in five color combinations,
