Macworld awards 2009 – Ranieri clients pick up two awards

Three of the team ventured to the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) in London last night for the 2009 Macworld Awards, with everything crossed for the four Ranieri clients who were nominated.

As a first timer at the awards, I was very impressed with the venue, food, comedy and free drink on offer. The night got even better, with wins for both Etymotic and Wacom in their respective categories.

Etymotic was victorious in the Best iPhone Accessory category, for its partnership with ACS in producing the hf2 Custom Fit headset, and the judges had this to say:

“The hf2 is a phenomenal set of iPhone-ready earphones that deliver the kind of sound reproduction you could pay a lot more for. Add custom fit, personalised earbuds these will truly be the best earphones you can own”

The evening’s excitement didn’t end there, as a short time later another Ranieri client, Wacom, picked up the gong for Creative Hardware Product of the Year for its Intuos4 pen tablet. Commenting on this category, the judges said:
“The Wacom Intuos4 really is a giant step in pen tablet technology with its wonderfully responsive new pen and comprehensive software drivers”

It’s not just the winning though, we also want to congratulate GEAR4 and Mophie for their nominations and offer commiserations that they just missed out on this occasion.

So, final verdict on my first Macworld Awards. Back in one piece, a good time had by all and many congratulations to Etymotic and Wacom – we’re proud to be associated with these award winning brands.
