Apple did not deliver all the biggest surprises this time, but Macworld naturally thrives not only on the Apple giant, but also on the numerous other software and hardware manufacturers active in the Mac market.
At the Macworld Awards ceremony, the best new products at this year’s San Francisco show were once again honored.
One example was HP’s attractive MediaSmart Server EX485, whose updated software provides Mac users with a wide range of functions. Among other things, it makes it easy to create Time Machine backups and much more (http://www.hp.com/de).
Alongside Apple’s new and improved iPhoto ’09 application, many other third-party manufacturers received a Macworld Award, including:
-
FileMaker Pro 10 database software http://www.filemaker.de/;
-
the useful Things task manager http://www.culturedcode.com/things/;
-
the versatile Pulse SmartPen multimedia note-taking pen http://www.livescribe.com/;
-
the Ecamm BT-1 Bluetooth webcam http://bt-1.com/

and iPhone applications including WebEx for iPhone, Daylite Touch and Sling Media SlingPlayer for iPhone.
