"iPads have changed the way we use mobile devices and where we use them. Most people
use their iPads in front of the TV or in the kitchen. The iPad is an ideal device for
browsing and following recipes, as well as shopping for groceries while keeping in touch
with friends," said Kalle Koutajoki, CEO of Digital Foodie. "Our goal is to make shopping
for groceries easy, personal and fun. This is why we launched the iPad version of
Foodie.fm."

The new iPad version has the world's first personalised product category browsing and
shopping list capabilities that are based on users' eating and purchasing habits. Users
can easily decide on the product category level they want to browse and shopping lists can
be organised by aisle, recipe or product name. Shopping lists can also be accessed,
updated and shared via other devices and kept in sync all the time. Users can also decide
if they want to buy their food online or in store. The iPad's bigger screen also makes it
an ideal tool for viewing recipes in Foodie while cooking.

"Creating shopping lists and finding inspiration for cooking or buying groceries has
never been this easy. You can find products and recipes from your friends or from Foodie's
personalised recommendations with just one swipe. Foodie.fm is the only service with such
easy and social window-shopping capabilities," Koutajoki continues.

Foodie.fm's iPad version is currently available in Finland and it will be launched in
the UK by autumn.

At the core of Foodie.fm is a patent pending recommendation server that learns from
users' eating and purchasing habits and suggests recipes and groceries that match their
taste profile. Foodie's smart tailoring also takes into account users' personalised
preferences -- food allergies, intolerances, predilections and budget restrictions.
Foodie.fm is linked to retailers' real time assortment giving users easy option to buy all
the products seamlessly through the retailer.

In the UK, Foodie.fm is available as a beta and the product assortment is linked to
Tesco through the Tesco API enabling the community a direct checkout with Tesco.com. In
the UK, Foodie runs independently. In Finland Digital Foodie has created a close
co-operation with S Group, one of the largest retail chains in Scandinavia and the leading
retailer in Finland with a 44% market share, as well as with major brand partners.

Foodie.fm is currently available online and as Facebook, iPad, iPhone, Android and
Nokia applications. Foodie is free for consumers to use and currently has 200,000 unique
users.
