World Debut for Hårdvarubolaget’s TV-BOKKSÔ at Cebit 2001

Hannover/Germany, March 22, 2001 - At Cebit, for the first time ever,
Hårdvarubolaget’s TV-BOKKSÔ will be demonstrated.  Services like
”Video-on-Demand”, ”IP-TV”, Web-Browsing and
”Music-on-Demand” will be running on this excellent new
hardware. Hårdvarubolaget, is a member of Framfab Labs, and exhibits
in the Framfab Germany Booth #F55 in Hall 6.

TV-BOKKSÔ enables broadband services to be displayed on a normal
television set. It is a product that can replace your VCR and video
store, as services like Video-on-Demand are offered over a broadband
network. The TV-BOKKSÔ and TV will replace the home computer.  This
allows users to surf the Internet and to send e-mails from most
people’s favourite position, the living room sofa.

TV-BOKKS™ uses the Escape browser from Espial, which is a product
that runs under Java Virtual Machine. This makes it very portable and
easy to use. Thanks to this browser TV-BOKKS™ can run all types of
general Internet pages.

TV-BOKKSÔ is the first in a series of BLOKKS™ products. BLOKKS™
are hardware modules that let a user connect different home appliances
to a broadband network. New and converging services are possible to
benefit from this hardware system.

- I am extremely pleased with both the speed and the quality of the
development of TV-BOKKSÔ, says Christian Merheim, CEO,
Hårdvarubolaget. It is a work extraordinary well-done, considering the
short time the development team has had at its disposal. This proves
we have a highly competent development team and that we have succeeded
in choosing the right partners for this assignment.

- TV-BOKKSÔ fulfils the requirements for mass-market penetration. The
low price level makes it possible to supply it to every household
connected to a broadband network. TV-BOKKSÔ functionality covers all
important parts of an audiovisual broadband experience. TV-BOKKSÔ
fulfils Bredbandsbolaget’s requirements, says Jan-Erik Fiske,
co-founder, Bredbandsbolaget.

- Hårdvarubolaget’s TV-BOKKSÔ is very user-friendly and
affordable”, says Georges Batarsé, Marketing Director Information
Appliance and Networks at National Semiconductor in Europe. TV-BOKKSÔ
is a very advanced digital set top box and one of the first devices
based on National Semiconductor’s highly integrated  single chip
solution, the GeodeÔ SC1200 processor. We have been working very
closely with Hårdvarubolaget and are glad to see how much this nicely
designed product takes advantage of the functionalities offered by our
Geode technology.

 - TV-BOKKSÔ will form a new category of products that connects old
 technology like the TV to new technology like  broadband network. Our
 products will be easy to use and to show this the design of our
 products is calm, intelligent and friendly with a futuristic touch to
 emphasise the revolutionary development, says Arman Mudde, chief
 designer Hårdvarubolaget.  We have worked hard with the user
 interfaces of the TV-BOKKSÔ and our goal is that it shall be as easy
 for my mother as for my nephews to use it and at the same time keep
 the interest of a more advanced user.


TV-BOKKSÔ is available for volume shipments during the second quarter
2001. It is currently running in live tests on broadband networks in
Sweden. It will be priced attractively, to make it possible for
consumers to get the hardware at a very low cost against a
subscription of an IP-TV service from a broadband service provider.
