`
`Zipit sold a first-generation instant messaging device known as the Zipit
`
`Wireless Messenger and/or “Zippy,” which was launched in 2004. I understand a

`
`and accurate representation of the Zippy instant messaging device. Zipit also sold
`
`a second—generation instant messaging device known as the Zipit Wireless Instant
`
`Messenger 2 and/or “Z2,” which was launched in 2007. I understand a photograph
`
`of the Z2 device has been marked as Exhibit 2020, which is a true and accurate
`
`representation of the Z2 instant messaging device.
`
`4.
`
`Zipit’s first—generation instant messaging device, Zippy, and Zipit’s
