Lexmark X7350 AIO wins Real World Testing : PC Magazine, a leading technology publication, named the Lexmark X7350 All-in-One (AIO) from Lexmark International, Inc. as the winner of its "Real World Testing" comparison of low-cost AIOs. Other printers included in the evaluation were the Brother MFC-5440CN, HP Officejet 4315 AIO and Samsung SCX-4100. Noting that many low-cost AIOs are designed for small offices or home offices, PC Magazine set out to evaluate their effectiveness as a personal printer in a larger office setting. Key criteria for inclusion were low price, standalone fax and automatic document feeder (ADF) capabilities. Contenders were tested on scanning, copying, and print speed and quality.

Red dot award Communication design 2006 : “Less is more” - in the face of almost unlimited possibilities, good design is characterised by clarity and an emphasised message, according to the jury of this year’s red dot award: communication design. Due to the richness of possibilities in communication design, today good design has to define a clear line and show individual character. According to the experts, good communication design has to be above all informative, without being confusing, and it should translate complex matters into a clear language of forms. The outstanding works that have received a red dot this year are quiet but subtle; they are touching and get under one’s skin with wit and irony.

Sony consumer electronics receive EISA Award : The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has selected Sony Europe as the recipient of its EISA Award in five product categories. The awards span a broad diversity of digital age design concepts from consumer product design to internet-based streaming concepts. The 2006 EISA Awards will be presented at a special Gala Event on 1 September 2006. Media consumption patterns are evolving rapidly, so that passive linear TV viewing on a standard definition small screen TV will rapidly become antiquated. The ability for savvy consumers to develop sophisticated networks for capturing, storing and re-presenting digital media is reflected in the make-up of Sony’s award winning products.
