1. ITEM 4 OF THE AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On January 10, 2007, the Shamrock Activist Value Fund issued the following press release:

Shamrock Activist Value Fund to Seek

Two Seats on the iPass Board

BURBANK, CALIF., January 10 - The Shamrock Activist Value Fund (“SAVF”) announced today that it intends to nominate two directors for election to the iPass, Inc. Board of Directors at its 2007 annual meeting. SAVF’s nominees will be Michael J. McConnell, Managing Director of SAVF, a $1.0bn investment fund and Peter C. Clapman, the recently retired Senior Vice President and Chief Counsel for TIAA-CREF, where for 32 years he was the chief investment lawyer and head of its corporate governance program.

The Shamrock Activist Value Fund issued this statement: “iPass urgently needs a fresh perspective in the Boardroom focused on substantial improvement in financial performance, governance, and accountability to shareholders. We believe that the continuing stewardship of the existing Board will result in further erosion of shareholder value. As independent candidates, Mr. McConnell and Mr. Clapman would bring a wide range of professional experiences and expertise that will help contribute significantly to reversing a precipitous three-year decline in the Company’s performance and stock price.”
