FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROY, Utah, Aug. 30, 2000 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global leader in data management solutions, announced today that the company's Clik!(tm) line of removable storage products has been re-branded PocketZip(tm), building on the company's equity in the popular Zip(r) brand of removable storage products. PocketZip disks offer low cost, durability, and convenience for a new generation of portable electronic devices, including a number of digital audio players expected to hit the market this fall.

"PocketZip offers consumers outstanding value," said Bruce Albertson, president and CEO, Iomega Corporation. "Downloading digital content is here to stay, and PocketZip technology is the unbeatable alternative to expensive solid-state memory cards in portable electronic devices. Consumers will prefer PocketZip-enabled devices for low-cost, dependable storage of their digital content."

PocketZip(tm) 40MB disks are approximately one-quarter of the size of CD audio discs, are encased in a metal shell for better durability than a CD, store more minutes of music than a CD using the Microsoft Windows Media Format, and are serialized to enable the digital rights management (DRM) of licensed content. PocketZip disks incorporate the same technology as Iomega's award-winning Zip(r) disks.

Iomega will begin shipping PocketZip-branded disks this fall, which will be available for about $10 per disk when purchased in a 10-pack. PocketZip disks will work interchangeably in all existing Clik!-branded products.
