This just in: Laptop Magazine has awarded Splashtop 2.0 with the Best of CES award. We are all pretty thrilled about it here at the office. A big thank you to the team and all their hard work. It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get Splashtop 2.0 to where it is, and this award just proves that it was all worth it. Here is what Laptop Magazine had to say:

“The Instant On operating system found in every notebook brand from ASUS to HP to Lenovo, won us over all over again by adding shortcuts, lots of shortcuts”

If you have not heard about Splashtop 2.0, here is the run down: better mobile 3G experience, customizable dock, instant search, and visual navigation of bookmarks and browser history. There is more info in my last post or you can check Laptop Mag’s in-depth video run through here.

It is hard to keep up with all the exciting news here at CES. It seems like every second there is something drool worthy that pops up. This year at CES there are definitely some drool worthy netbooks from your favorite manufacturers. Which leads me to some exciting netbook related announcements: Splashtop 2.0 is official, and on top of that our software will now be powering all of the popular netbooks from the leading manufacturers - Asus, Acer, and HP to name a few.

So what’s new in 2.0? Well it’s a significant step in every category: it’s even faster than before, has a better 3G connectivity experience, it’s touch optimized, and has a slew of other new features like:

• A redesigned application dock that let’s you add your favorite apps and sites.
• Ability to customize the look and feel of your desktop with stylish wallpapers and personalized packages.
• Instant search, which let’s you search even before launching the browser.
• Visual navigation of your favorite sites and history.

The new Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t, a touch-enabled netbook, will be the first to feature Splashtop 2.0.

Lastly I’d like to welcome the latest addition to the family - EeePC netbook line. The EeePC single handedly rocked the industry three years ago, and they continue to do so with the innovative swiveling tablet-netbooks like the EeePC T91MT, which of course includes Splashtop

It is only a day and a half until the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in Las Vegas. This year DeviceVM will be at Pepcom - Digital Experience showing off our latest technology. We’re going to have some exciting announcements coming soon, so stay tuned.
