XYBR news Xybernaut(R) Wearable PC Wins Grand Prize at COMDEX Japan; MA IV Voted Best PC Product in Show FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Xybernaut Corporation (Nasdaq: XYBR - news), the leader in wearable computing, today announced that COMDEX Japan has awarded the Mobile Assistant® IV (MA IVTM) wearable PC the coveted Grand Prize for Best PC Product at the show. Xybernaut won the award for its future-forward technology and its outstanding product design and engineering, beating out 100 other candidates. The award presentation was widely covered by the Japanese press. ''We are very honored that COMDEX Japan has chosen the MA IV wearable PC for this notable award,'' said Kazyuki Toyosato, executive vice president and general manager, Asian operations, for Xybernaut Corporation. ''Recognition of this kind further validates wearable PCs as a significant factor in the computing industry and demonstrates the power that the MA IV brings to the convergence of computing and communications.'' Edward G. Newman, president and CEO of Xybernaut Corporation added, ''This Grand Prize for Best PC Product is significant, because it was awarded in the general PC category rather than a specialized category. As a full-function WINTEL PC, the MA IV functions as 'just another node on the network' in an information technology system. A recent study by IDC showed that approximately half of the workers in the U.S. do not work at a fixed workstation and, therefore, generally do not have access to the information technology provided by their organization. In combination with solutions provided by Xybernaut and its partners, the MA IV hardware platform is ideal for bringing information technology to this other half of the workforce. We invite attendees at COMDEX Las Vegas to visit us this week in booth number L2675 to see demonstrations of this productivity tool.''
