"In first place was Trigem. And they made something that when I look at it I think of it as a modern stereo almost. But they brought computer components to it. It's a three piece black home entertainment system. The CEO said he made something that was quieter and super easy to use. The thing even has a VOIP phone."
In second place…was a company called Mesiro from Norway. Then Intel held what it called the People's Choice Awards. Online voting gave the top prize there to mCubed for the HFX Micro. But perhaps the most unique designs came from a company called Slipperyskip…which created a PC in a wooden case with an art deco look. Kaplan says Intel will be helping the top winners bring their designs to market…
"They're hoping to bring it to the market worldwide. I bet they're on the race to try to get something out on the shelves by the Holidays."
And Intel says the challenge worked well enough…that it has decided to do it again…next year. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.
