Customer: Logitech USA

This ergonomic hybrid mouse, pointer and slide application control uses Blue Tooth technology and packs all of the functions into a small space providing a meaningful, clear, coherent design.

More efficient way to manage cardboard, tool storage, cart storage and cart identification in a grocery store setting. Where two carts have been used before-one to carry product, the other to store used cardboard-now, only one is required. The hinged deck decreases platform size 35% for storage. Broken down cardboard cartons and refuse are stowed in an adjustable management system with a convenient area for tool storage. With the smaller width footprint the StockMate ES Restocking Truck can navigate almost any aisle.

Client: Palm, Inc.

Departing from the familiar PalmTM, the ZireTM was given a new shape and color, which would transcend the world market. Thinner and about 20% smaller by volume than a PalmTM m100, the ZireTM is portable and can go as long as a month on single charge of its rechargeable batteries. To save money, the new flip lid is a third of the cost as other PalmTM models. Great design benefits and price point; 90% of sales are first time buyers.

"The PalmTM ZireTM impressed with its attention to detail and it elegant simplicity (particularly for an entry level product). The Zire'sTM appearance conveys a quite, calm, Zen-like aesthetic that is normally reserved for products selling at twice its cost. Simplifying the user interface, reducing its thickness, size and weight, and incorporating a power source that can go as long as a month on a single charge all contributes to making the PalmTM ZireTM highly desirable." -Jim Couch, IDSA, Principal, Substance.

The 17" monitor is the largest display for a notebook and has the same viewing area as a 19-inch CRT monitor with the ability to display two full pages at one time. Still, it's the thinnest notebook Apple has produced. The legends of the full-sized keyboard are backlit by hundreds of fiber optic strands. Slot loading combo DVD/CD drive, G4 processor, built-in Blue Tooth wireless technology, Airport Extreme (802-11g) for networking and a full-sized keyboard round out the features. The notebook is made with aircraft grade aluminum for the outer skins with welded structural members and a die cast aluminum frame.

"The 17" and 12" PowerBooks are detailed with jewel precision, utilizing exotic materials and processes to ensure high quality feel, fit and finish. A host of innovative thoughtful user features such as back-lit key legends that automatically adjust to ambient light, slot loading combo drives and wireless Blue Tooth technology, all answer specific problems of the mobile computer user." -Jim Couch, IDSA, Principal, Substance.

The Workstation zx6000 is an out-of-the-box solution using the same base chassis for multiple configurations and models.
