SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/12/07 -- e.Digital Corporation (OTCBB: EDIG) a leading innovator of portable inflight entertainment (IFE) systems and patented flash memory-related technology, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to supply its proprietary eVU(TM) portable entertainment systems to Air France. Air France has been providing eVUs to Business Class passengers on long-haul flights to Djeddah, Malabo, N'Djamena, Nouakchott, Pointe Noire and Riyadh utilizing A319-ER dedicated aircraft since mid-summer. The agreement includes eVU support equipment and on-going services.

e.Digital's next generation studio-approved eVU portable entertainment system features a multi-language customizable passenger-friendly interface and an industry-leading 14 hours of continuous video playback from a single battery charge. eVU is available in either 7" or 8" high resolution LCD screen with 40 GB to 200 GB of rugged and reliable storage for many hours of movies, television shows, music, specialty programming and games. eVU is the smallest and lightest dedicated long play portable IFE product available today and integrates the latest in battery safety features through its removable "Smart" rechargeable high capacity battery pack.

"This Air France order is part of the additional $1.2 million+ in new IFE orders we announced earlier this quarter and demonstrates our ability to rapidly place eVU systems in service," said Will Blakeley, president of e.Digital. "eVU emerged as the best in class portable IFE solution for Air France during a two-month competitive trial with other IFE products demonstrating its superior performance."
