Sharp Systems of America Selects Mobility's iGo Juice Power Adapter as Companion for Sharp Notebooks

Agreement With Leading Asian Manufacturer Further Bolsters Mobility Electronics' iGo Juice Distribution Channel

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mobility Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOBE), a leading provider of innovative portable power and computing solutions for the mobile electronic device user, today announced Sharp Systems of America, a leading provider of portable computing products, has begun selling the iGo(TM) Juice(TM) multi-function power adapter as a companion to its Actius MM, MP, MV and UM series notebook computers.

By combining the functionality of multiple power devices and compatibility with both AC and DC power sources, Juice eliminates the need to carry separate notebook power adapters for the office, auto and airplane. Using the optional iGo DualPower(TM) accessory and interchangeable itips(TM), Juice simultaneously powers/charges two devices, which may include a mobile phone, handheld/PDA, digital camera, MP3 player and more. Business travelers and other mobile users can replace bulky power-packs and numerous adapters with a single power source, eliminating extra weight and jumbled power cords.

"The announcement of Sharp, a leading manufacturer and market leader, as a distribution channel for Juice speaks highly to the product's compatibility with the world's most popular notebook computers," said Charlie Mollo, CEO of Mobility Electronics. "We are pleased Sharp will be offering Juice alongside these models of notebooks and look forward to much success as a result of this new channel."

"Juice is the perfect complement to our Actius notebook computers," said Mark Romano, director of marketing for Sharp Systems of America. "Juice's innovative, multi-function design complements our products well and offers users portability and simplicity in their mobile lives."

Juice is now available on the Sharp Systems Web site (www.store.sharpsystems.com) for $119.99. The optional iGo DualPower accessory and itips are available on Mobility Electronics' on-line store (www.igo.com).
