How2Share Technologies Launches Flixpo.com-The Internet's #1 Independent Source of Free High-Quality Video Clips for Apple iPod and Sony PSP

Business Wire, Nov 30, 2005

VICTORIA, British Columbia -- How2Share Technologies Inc. -

The Internet's largest selection of free, portable digital video content is now available

Apple iPod and Sony PSP users will cheer the launch today of Flixpo.com (www.flixpo.com), the largest independent online source for Apple iPod and Sony PSP video content. Popular Flixpo.com categories include movie trailers, independent shorts, and comedy reviews, among many others - all downloadable at no charge.

"Industry research shows there's not a lot of compelling digital video content available for iPod and PSP users," says Colin How, president of How2Share Technologies, the makers of Flixpo.com. "Our mandate with this site is to make it easy for consumers to get high quality, fast streaming content that is easy to access and is already optimized for their portable devices."

According to Forrester Research, consumers are still unconvinced of paid-for content's value. A recent study in the US revealed that 38% of consumers who had bought content online expect to be able to transfer the content to any device they owned. As consumers become increasingly networked - connecting their PC, TV, PVR, and mobile devices - more and more will balk at paying even small amounts for content that is wedded to a specific device. (Forrester Research, November 2005)

"By providing content for leading video devices, such as the iPod and PSP players, and by providing an easy to use online experience, Flixpo.com is positioned to be the leading source for portable digital content," continues How. "It complements our PiXPO network, which is already the Internet's most advanced platform for safe sharing of personal video and photos. "

To appeal to a wide variety of Apple iPod and Sony PSP users, Flixpo.com video clip genres include: Indie Showcase, Risque Ads, Funny Ads, Wild Kingdom, Game Machinima, Open Mike, The Box Office, Adventure Sports, Popular Clips and Loading...Ready...Run.

Flixpo.com users can access the content in three easy steps:

- Streaming video clips directly by visiting www.flixpo.com

- Transferring to iPod after downloading video clips and importing to iTunes

- Transferring to PSP by downloading the clips from Flixpo
