At the FOSE Conference and Exposition held in Washington D.C. this week, the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 notebook won the GCN Best of FOSE Award in the Portable PC category. The annual competition designates the best new products showcased at the conference. 

As in years past, the Government Computer News Lab oversaw the selection process, which picked the best submissions from more 100 different companies. Editorial and testing staffs from Government Computer News and Washington Technology reviewed each entry. Winners were chosen based on four criteria: innovation, usability/applicability to government, relative performance based on specifications and value. 

“The U.S. government is the world’s largest purchaser of IT products. FOSE continues to be a showcase for the latest in technology offerings for the government – and in particular, products that meet the government’s demanding requirements for scale and security,” said Wyatt Kash, editor in chief of Government Computer News. “With so many quality submissions, we struggled to narrow down the 2008 GCN Best of FOSE winners, suggesting once again the degree of technology innovation that companies are focusing on for public sector applications.”
