TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 2, 2010 - At Computex Taipei 2010 today, Telegent Systems, the company that makes

The Innocomm Shark, which features a 3.2 inch WVGA (800×480) display,
capacitive touchscreen, 8 megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5G connectivity,
Wi-Fi and analog TV, is designed to address the growing interest in
feature-rich touchscreen smartphones while entering the category at a price
significantly lower than current comparable models. According to Gartner
Dataquest, the smartphone market is expected to grow by nearly 50% in 2010
and 2011, outperforming basic handset growth over the next five years.

Innocomm is among a growing number of mobile device developers to build
in Telegent's free-to-air mobile TV technology as a competitive
differentiator. The Shark's analog TV feature provides consumers with mobile
access to the same free-to-air television programming that they view on
conventional TV sets, delivering ready access to news, sports and other
preferred programming while on the go. The handset's large, high quality
display combined with touchscreen controls allows for a high quality viewing
experience. The model also incorporates the ability to record TV clips to a
microSD card. Innocomm plans to add digital TV capability to future models.

"We expect the phone's price and feature profile to appeal to operators
seeking to add 3.5G Android smartphones to their portfolio and to leverage 3G
as a strategic growth platform," said Paul Wang, President at Innocomm. "The
combination of analog TV with Android's feature-rich platform allows us to
deliver both operator and consumer extraordinary value in markets in Asia,
Latin America and parts of Europe."

Telegent has shipped more than 80 million mobile TV receivers since it
first introduced its mobile TV solutions in mid-2007. The company will
demonstrate its latest solutions for mobile devices at this week's event,
June 1 - 5, at the Grand Hyatt Taipei, suites #1032 and 1033.

"Innocomm is well known for its quality and innovative designs," said
Samuel Sheng, president and chief executive officer. "Innocomm's new model
will provide carriers who are leveraging analog TV as a strategic
differentiator to deliver a compelling offering in the high end smartphone
category."
