1. The first of our new business developments involves a major consumer brand combining our MOS-powered personal audio and personal video platforms utilizing a derivative of our Odyssey 1000 form-factor. The expected consumer release date is late spring 2004 at which time the OEM and specifications of the device are scheduled to be revealed.

2. Another agreement calls for an OEM-branded consumer version of our personal video platform featuring a 7'' LCD screen. This new video product is expected to reach consumers in early Fall 2004, through a major OEM's retail and e-tail site. The branding OEM and device specifications are scheduled to be revealed upon the consumer launch of the product.

Glad to see and hear the latest about ECLIPSE HD1213 ... looks like the long wait will be worth it !! Don't know if you saw this before ... dated 1-8-04, so I think you were busy that day !!

''We're thrilled to have ECLIPSE join us as a partner,'' said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO, SIRIUS. ''The addition of ECLIPSE represents potentially tens of thousands of new in-dash headunits. Plus, they are recognized as being the premier brand for independent retail specialists such as Car Toys and The Good Guys. Having ECLIPSE as part of our team reinforces SIRIUS' belief in the power of retail brands, and the strength of the independent retail channel.''

''We're stepping up behind SIRIUS because we believe they are the premier brand in satellite radio,'' said Ray Windsor, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ECLIPSE. ''Since we represent the premium brand in mobile electronics, partnering with SIRIUS is a natural.''
