VizualogicR VMODT Entertainment System Named 
Best New Mobile Electronics Product at SEMA Show

LAS VEGAS - (October 31, 2006)  - The Vizualogic Media on Demand (VMODT)
Entertainment System was named Best New Mobile Electronics Product today at
the 2006 SEMA Show. 

VMOD, which allows consumers to download virtually any digital media into
their vehicles, is a compact, powerful computing module that combines an
IntelR CeleronR M processor and a 40GB automotive-grade hard drive, running
a simple plug and play operating system.  The module is paired with a
user-friendly software application from StreetDeck, which ties the whole
user experience together in an automotive-friendly package.  Its compact
size makes it easy to install under a seat or virtually anywhere in a
vehicle.  An integrated video output allows users to plug directly into any
of Vizualogic's patented All-in-One Headrest Monitor/DVD Players, including
the new iPodR-compatible A-1250, allowing users to download virtually any
digital file from their home computers.  (VMOD also is compatible with other
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) systems.)

"We are elated to have VMOD chosen as the best new mobile electronics
product at SEMA," said Brian Torres, vice president of business development,
Vizualogic. "We have a talented and dedicated team of engineers who have a
vision of where digital media is headed, and this award is very gratifying
for the entire Vizualogic family."

"This project came to fruition thanks to a partnership that includes Intel
for the architecture of the new system, StreetDeck for software and
integration, and Portwell for the boards," said Ian Kelly, Vizualogic's lead
engineer on the project.  "The end result is a system that allows users to
play games and watch movies stored on the hard drive, browse the Internet,
download and listen to music, and enjoy other multimedia experiences.
Basically, anything stored on a full-size home computer can be downloaded
and accessed with VMOD."  

VMOD will be sold through the automotive aftermarket and via retail
channels, beginning in the first quarter of 2007.  MSRP will start at
$699.00.
