 Eleksen Provides Ultra-Mobile PC Ecosystem With Innovative Data Input Products

  Leading Smart Fabrics Company to Provide Fabric-based Interactive Soft-goods
                        Peripherals for Intel based UMPC


INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, Beijing, April 18, 2007 - Eleksen Group plc (AIM:ELG.L),
the inventor and manufacturer of ElekTex(R) smart fabric touchpads for consumer
electronics, today announced that it has been selected as an UMPC ecosystem
partner by Intel to deliver a range of ElekTex-based solutions for Intel based
Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices).


Eleksen will have an array of working reference designs, prototypes and concept
designs based on a variety of ElekTex sensor designs and control electronics
that can be easily integrated into an Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEMs)
mobile computing accessories products.


With its highly innovative touch-sensitive textile interface technology, Eleksen
offers OEMs and ODMs a compelling alternative to traditional bulky mechanical
keyboard designs which compromise the mobility and portability of this new
generation of mobile computing platforms. Fabric-based ElekTex data entry
sensors can be integrated into device bags and protective cases for UMPCs and
MIDs enhancing the usability of the device without sacrificing its portability.


"The opportunity for Eleksen to participate in this new UMPC and MID ecosystem
and bring new portable interface designs to market is thrilling for us," said
Robin Shephard, CEO, Eleksen. "Our focus is to use ElekTex to consistently
pioneer creative ways for people from mobile road warriors to urban trendsetters
to interact with their digital devices. There is no better way for consumers to
personalize their devices than with accessories and carry bags. Our solutions
add a new dimension to these soft-goods by making them as functional as they are
fashionable. "


"Interactive soft-goods provide a new capability that complements the
functionality and portability of UMPCs and MIDs," said Kelley Johnson, Marketing
Manager at Intel Corporation. "Eleksen stands out as a great choice for new UMPC
and MID interface accessories as the Intel(R) Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 helps
create demand for a new category of devices."
