BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Media One Direct LLC, developer of multimedia and entertainment
content, will produce a promotional video and user tutorials for the
new V7 line of GPS portable navigation devices, the exclusive house
brand for Ingram Micro, Inc. (NYSE:IM).

   The promo and tutorials are for the V7 NAV 730 and the V7 NAV 740,
a new line of GPS portable navigation devices. The promo will play on
the V7 at major retail stores to allow consumers to watch the features
of the device at the point of sale, according to Rich Pulin, chief
development officer of production for Media One Direct.

   "One of our primary goals is to create popular original
programming for emerging markets such as IPTV and other mobile
devices. Media One Direct was chosen to develop and produce the promo
and tutorials for Ingram Micro because our production staff at
Illusion Digital Studio has years of experience developing and
producing this type of content," said Charles Overton, president and
managing director of Media One Direct.

   The V7 navigation system is more than just a handheld global
positioning device, it is a personal travel planner and full-featured
portable multimedia player supporting the most popular picture, music,
and video formats.

   "We look forward to working with Media One Direct to provide our
customers a user friendly tutorial and a unique choice of entertaining
programming for V7 entertainment," said Jeffrey Friederichs, senior
manager for global marketing and North American sales for Ingram
Micro's global private label division.

   Media One Direct has a web site at www.MediaOneFilm.com.
