DeviceVM, makers of the award winning Splashtop™ instant-on software issued a press release today announcing a partnership with Lenovo and a new Splshtop-enabled computer, the Lenovo S10e netbook.  We’ve thought for a long time that Splashtop makes perfect sense on a netbook.  The whole idea behind Splashtop is to get you on the Internet as fast as humanly possible.  Netbooks are lightweight, low-powered computers designed mainly for use on the Web (hence the name: netbook.)  Hand and glove.  It’s meant to be.

The press release went out this morning, and there’s been lots of great coverage so far.  We’ll continue to update this list throughout the day.

The new Splashtop UI, customized for Lenovo (“QuickStart”)

We’d like to congratulate our favorite social media center company, boxee.tv, for being selected as one of 15 finalists for the CES 2009 I-Stage event.  I-Stage is a new event for CES, which they’ve labeled with “Think you’ve got America’s next top gadget? Prove it. “  The event is being judged by Kevin Kelly (Wired), Ryan Block (Engadget/gdgt), Jeff Pulver, and Molly Wood.

The 15 finalists will unveil their products before a live audience on Monday, October 20, at CEA’s 2008 Industry Forum, scheduled October 19-22, 2008, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.
Good luck Avner and the rest of Team Boxee!
