Orb Networks Wins 2005 World Class Award From PC World



Orb has pioneered placeshifting, providing consumers around the world with FREE, spontaneous mobile access to their music, photos, videos, Webcams and other digital content located on their home PC from virtually any Web-enabled device. Orb is also a single software download whereas competing products force users to invest in additional hardware and often do not allow "any place, any time access." Orb has earned the following awards:

  • DigitalLife 2004 Conference Best of Show Award for "PC Software" category
  • The Innovation Award at the IBDNetwork's Under The Radar event in the "Digital Home" category
  • CNET's "Next Big Thing" award in the "Software and Services" category

Celebrating its 23rd year, the respected World Class Awards honor products that meld practical features with innovation and reflect the rapidly changing technology marketplace. To select the winners, PC World?s editors examined hundreds of products, including those that have appeared in the magazine over the past 12 months. The winning products were selected for their exemplary design and usability, features, performance, innovation, and price.

"The ultimate buyers guide, World Class Awards set the standard for excellence in the high-tech and consumer electronics industries," stated Harry McCracken, editor in chief of PC World. "From desktop publishers to travel routers to satellite radio and video instant messenger services, the editors reward the finest products and most outstanding performers in this annual award program. Congratulations to Orb Networks."
