IKIVO Powers the User Experience of the World's First Colour Touchscreen, Multi-Format Digital Radio

LONDON, October 26/PRNewswire/ -- IKIVO, the No. 1 European supplier of rich media enabling solutions,
today announces that its ground breaking user experience technology has been
selected by yet another leading consumer device manufacturer, Revo
Technologies.

Through its partnership with Frontier Silicon, the world's leading
supplier of integrated circuits and modules for digital audio products and
mobile digital TV, IKIVO is providing the ground breaking technology powering
the user interface of the recently launched IKON digital radio.

This exciting new product from Revo Technologies, a leading designer and
manufacturer of high quality digital audio products, is introducing a whole
new way of interacting with a radio. IKON combines the benefits of a full
colour 3.5" touchscreen, icon-driven user interface, multi-standard radio
capabilities and iPod and iPhone docking. It is one of only a handful digital
radios that are certified by Apple for use with iPod or iPhone.

IKIVO's Rich Media Client, the market leading user experience engine for
devices with limited resources, powers the IKON user interface. Frontier
Silicon has developed the interactive, graphical user interface using the
powerful IKIVO user interface tool set.

"We are very excited about working with Frontier Silicon and Revo
Technologies to break new grounds in consumer electronic products. By
introducing a user experience with an advanced graphical animated interface
on a touchscreen device, the IKON is bound to be a must-have for all radio
fans. Building on our phenomenal success in providing user interfaces for
mobile phones, printers and other consumer electronic products, this
re-affirms IKIVO's leadership in user experience technologies," says Huw W.
Hampson-Jones, CEO of IKIVO.

Mark Hopgood, director of marketing at Frontier Silicon, comments:
"Graphical and animated touch user interfaces on handheld devices have proven
to be immensely popular with consumers. With the help of IKIVO, Frontier
Silicon is now able to bring this experience to the home audio market
triggering manufacturers to produce highly innovative cost effective
connected audio products."

Revo Technologies' CEO, David Baxter, adds: "We believe that IKON is the
first product to truly deliver on the promise of digital radio, delivering a
next generation radio experience complete with an icon-driven colour
touchscreen interface, coverage of multiple radio formats, and iPod and
iPhone docking."
