XtremeMac First to Market With Comprehensive Line of iPod nano Products

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida, October 7/PRNewswire/ --

- iPod nano Gets Cased, Charged, Crystallized and More
With New Line of Accessories

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 13 new products with 38 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
US$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

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
US$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
