Pogo! Launches Flipster™, The First Portable MP4 Player with Direct MP3 Recording

Users Enjoy High Quality MP3 Recording Without the Use of a PC

Calif., January 30, 2002 - PoGo! today launched its RipFlash™ Recordable MP3 Player. The RipFlash is a first-of-its-kind flash memory based combination MP3 player, MP3 recorder, and voice recording device which actually encodes analog audio using its internal microphone or from any audio source through the Line-In connector, into high quality digital MP3 audio without the need for a desktop PC.

RipFlash Recordable MP3 technology allows the user to record directly from any audio device such as a portable CD player, record player, tape player, or even radio. Users may even record quick voice messages using the internal microphone, or use a high quality stereo microphone connected to the Line-In port for recording anything from live music to training seminars. The recordings can be played back through the onboard internal speaker, through the included ear bud headphones, or through any home or car audio system using the appropriate cables.

RipFlash has a unique feature that can detect the "gap" in between the tracks of a CD when recording so that each song on the CD is saved as an individual MP3 file, allowing for easy identification.

"We are thrilled about adding RipFlash to our line of Digital Audio Products," said Andy Parks, VP of PoGo!. "This player allows for extremely easy recording of all types of music media."

RipFlash comes with 128MB of internal storage and also has a Smart Media Card slot for adding additional memory. It is also possible to upload and download MP3s, through the traditional method, using a Desktop PC and USB. RipFlash can be used for fun by any music lover of any age, for musicians who wish to record their live music sessions, or for the business person or student who has the need for recording and playing back training tapes, seminars, lectures, etc.
