Palm crowns comeback at CES with 'Best in Show' award
AFP - Sunday, January 11
LAS VEGAS (AFP) - - The new smartphone from Palm and a pocket notebook computer from Sony won coveted awards as top products in their categories at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) here Saturday.
The Palm Pre was recognized not only as the best product in the cellphone and smartphone category, but was also named "Best in Show" and received the most votes in a "people's choice" Internet poll.
"Palm is on the comeback trail, it would seem," said Brian Cooley, an editor-at-large at Internet news agency Cnet, which jointly handed out the awards with the Consumer Electronics Association, host of the CES.
"A triple header for Palm, that is pretty impressive," Cooley said.
Palm was once a pioneer in handheld devices but it has been suffering hard times lately.
The touch-screen Pre unveiled on Thursday features a new operating system and notably allows users to move seamlessly from one application to another, as with a desktop computer, and run multiple applications at the same time.
In the Computer and Hardware category, the award went to the Sony Vaio P Series Lifestyle PC.
Cooley said the notebook computer, which is about the size of a business envelope and can fit into a suit jacket, offers "a completely different form factor and all kinds of connectivity."
Sony also took the honors in the Digital Photo and Video category for its Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-G3 camera, which features Wi-Fi capability, 10 megapixels, a 4X zoom and 4GB of storage.
Samsung also walked away with two awards; in the Home Audio category for its HT-BD7200 speakers, and in the MP3 and Video Players category for its P3 touch-screen MP3 player.
The Panasonic G10 series, which features Amazon video-on-demand and uses half the power of other televisions its size, picked up the award in the television category.
The Nyko Wand took the honors in the Gaming Category and "improves so much on the original (Nintendo) Wii remote that it will spawn a host of new ways to innovate on the Wii," Cooley said.
In the Car Technology category, the award went to Gracenote Voxonic CarStars, which features an avatar-based guide to song catalogs.
Portable navigation device manufacturer TomTom picked up the award in the GPS category with its latest GPS offer, the TomTom GO 740 Live.
The Home Video category was won by the EchoStar SlingLoaded HD DVR 922, which features Slingbox technology that allows a user to access their home television from another computer.
The four-day CES, the largest consumer technology trade show in the world, featuring 2,700 exhibitors of high-tech gadgetry from around the globe, ends on Sunday.
