It was just last week that we found out we won a prestigious award from Popular Science. Plus, we’ve been getting lots of coverage from places like the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times. Heck, even Howard Stern loves us. Does this make us cool? After all, we’re nerdy technology types.
Thank goodness that we won an award that brings us back to our roots (before we got too Hollywood). We’re proud to announce that Splashtop won the “2008 Open Source Product Innovation Award” at LinuxWorld China. Yep, our very own Shawn Fang, pictured beautifully above, was on hand to receive the award. This award is very dear to our team who has been working incredibly hard to further Open Source Technology and the mainstream distribution of Linux. Congratulations team!
Another notable piece of news from this week is that Wired Magazine wrote an article titled, “Top 10 Products That Helped Us Forget 2008.” The number 7 product was the incredible HP Voodoo Envy (which we still fight about in the office). It’s not a long article but it does mention the Voodoo Instant-On Solution. Here’s what it says,
“An instant-on OS lets you surf the Web or make Skype calls without booting up Windows. It all adds up to one drool-worthy package.”
Yep, Splashtop is getting a lot of attention and why not? It’s an incredible product. Recently, I’ve been using it quite a bit on the new Lenovo S10e. I hope to blog more about my experiences using Splashtop on a Netbook next week. Until then, for those in the US, Happy Thanksgiving!
