Acer, the fourth largest vendor in the global IT market (source: Gartner data, 4Q 2006), announces today that its c500 portable navigator has won a 2007 iF (International Forum) design award for product design, in the computer category. Inaugurated in 1953, the iF design award has served as a trademark for design excellence, developing into a globally renowned and trend-setting design competition. Acer is devoted to designing IT products that improve usability, and add value and convenience to our customers.
The Acer c500 portable navigator series is ideal for professionals seeking a full-featured, easy-to-use PDA to meet their handheld and GPS needs. Weighing only 122 grams, the slim, contoured styling and intuitive graphic interface grace the c500 with class, while a clear UV coating adds protection and durability. The compact design and integrated antenna and easy-grip back ensure secure handling. The car kit is made from shock-absorbing materials and able to house two sizes of battery, quickly transforming the Acer c500 into a versatile navigator. The unit's sunshade easily docks/releases from the car-mount case, and the slot design keeps cables neatly tucked away. For a clear view of on-screen data and maximum ease of use, the c500 is equipped with a bright and well-contrasted 2.8" screen that can be fingertip-operated in navigation mode.
According to iF International Forum, an iF award is a symbol of a company's commitment to innovation and its willingness to face the competition. It is a visible symbol of product and service quality. And for buyers of design-oriented products, the iF seal serves as a decision-making tool in the marketplace. An international jury of experts selected 756 winners out of a total of 2,293 entries from 35 countries for an iF product design award 2007.
