Press Release Body: Florence, KY-November 6, 2007-BlueStar, the leading innovator in
solutions-based distribution for Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID products,
is announcing it is distributing the LXE HX2 Rugged Wearable Computer for warehouse
applications.

"Thanks to the HX2 wearable computer, HX1 dedicated voice computer, and MX7
multimodal scanning/voice handheld computer, LXE will have one of the industry's
most complete suite of data collection solutions for picking," says Jim Childress,
LXE's president and general manager. "With LXE, customers can now choose the perfect
picking technology for their specific applications."

LXE's HX2 is designed to be worn on the arm or waist, keeping both hands free for
picking and other warehouse duties. It features an impact-resistant screen made from
the same materials found in fighter-jet cockpit windows as well as a magnesium alloy
front to ensure survival in rugged environments. The ring scanners are also built as
tough as the main computer.

Other HX2 features include: a crisp sunlight-readable display that allows easy
viewing in any lighting condition; large, backlit keys that are fully mappable and
customizable for specific applications; an Eyes-Free Keyboard with variably-sized
keys for no-look navigation; multiple data-capture options with laser ring scanner
or 2D imager ring; and an innovative arm band that avoids slippage by comfortably
securing the HX2 where you want it. The product comes loaded with the latest
Windows® CE 5.0 Professional OS, and an 802.11 b/g radio with Bluetooth option.

"As warehouses are trending toward increasing efficiencies and order accuracy,
BlueStar will be able to offer AIDC resellers a solution that will effectively meet
these needs with the addition of the HX2 to the LXE line card here at BlueStar,"
says Greg Seelbach, BlueStar's Director of Market Development.
