Eleksen Group plc, which makes smart fabrics that can be used to control
electronic devices such as smartphones and MP3 players, is pleased to report
that Belkin has announced that a new application for its ElekTex technology will
be available to consumers in North America from November this year. Belkin is a
major iPod accessory supplier.

Using ElekTex, Belkin has developed SportCommand, which enables users to
wirelessly control their iPod from fabric strapped to their arm, while the
player is stored safely elsewhere.

SportCommand will be distributed in North America in November and launches are
expected to follow shortly in Asia, Europe and Australia.

Eleksen has already delivered the initial shipment of switches to Belkin ahead
of the November launch.

Robin Shephard, Chief Executive Officer of Eleksen said:

"We are delighted that a new group of consumers are going to have the
opportunity to make use of our technology to improve the flexibility and
mobility of their lives. Our work with Belkin, one of the best known iPod
accessory providers, shows that innovative designers understand the
opportunities that our fabric offers"
