Apricorn Announces 240GB Upgrade Kit for 5th Generation Video iPod®

Apricorn`s Do-It-Yourself Kit Enables You to Upgrade Your 5th Generation Video
iPod Hard Drive and Battery in 10 to 20 Minutes
POWAY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Apricorn, (www.apricorn.com) the leader in personal storage, announced today its
240GB Upgrade Kit for 5th Generation Video iPod. With added capacity, your 5th
Generation iPod can hold up to 60,000 songs, 50,000 photos or 300 hours of
video; a 300 percent increase from the largest Video iPod`s original 80GB.

Apricorn`s Do-It-Yourself Upgrade Kit enables you to upgrade your Video iPod
hard drive and battery in just 10 to 20 minutes. Apricorn`s comprehensive kit
includes an intuitive step-by-step instructional video to guide you through the
entire upgrade, a high capacity hard drive up to 240GB, a lithium ion battery
and case opening tools.

The upgrade is completed in a few steps. Start by watching the instructional
video to view the procedure in its entirety. After watching the video, you are
ready to upgrade your Video iPod. If you need to review a step, the video will
allow you to watch the entire process or review individual sections. After the
process is complete, just plug the iPod into your computer and restore using
iTunes®.

In addition to increasing the capacity of your 5th Generation iPod, Apricorn`s
Upgrade Kit also increases your iPod`s battery life. The kit`s 240GB Toshiba
drive has lower power requirements, showing a 33 percent overall improvement in
energy efficiency from the original drive. This, in addition to the new
replacement lithium ion battery, vastly increases your iPod`s play time. This
can come in handy with all of the new songs, videos and games that your upgraded
iPod can now store.

In addition to free technical support, Apricorn backs their kit`s hard drive and
battery with a limited 1-year warranty, in effect, renewing the warranty that
may have expired on many well loved Video iPods.

"Apricorn has answered the call from consumers to provide an easy, low-cost way
to increase the capacity and battery life of their iPod," said Mike McCandless,
VP of Sales and Marketing. "For the same price as an iPod Classic 120GB, you can
have twice the space. If you love your Video iPod, but are just not getting the
same amount of play time, or are just running out of space with PodCasts, games
and video, Apricorn`s Do-It-Yourself Upgrade Kit is a great alternative."
