DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2000

Qubit Technology (http://www.qubit.net), a pioneer in the Internet Appliance market, today announced receipt of Colorado's Most Innovative New High-Tech Product, the annual competition sponsored by the Denver Business Journal.

For the past seven years, the Denver Business Journal has awarded creativity and innovation exhibited by leading companies across the state of Colorado. The DBJ received more than 50 nominations this year ranging from elaborate x-ray machines for the computer industry to web sites for college students. The final winners were chosen by a distinguished panel of judges, including Monique Reece, a marketing expert and regular columnist for the Denver Business Journal.

"This competition is based on innovation and the long-term potential for success in the marketplace," said Monique Reece, vice president and chief evangelist for Tactical Marketing Ventures. "Qubit exhibited these qualities and at the same time possessed an incredible marketability. We saw the wireless WebTablet as a product that could bridge every demographic out there, from kids to grandparents to early adopters, anyone can use this product to get on the Internet quicker and easier. It's truly a breakthrough product."

Qubit, unlike many in the Internet Appliance space, has consistently focused on its commitment to the consumer experience across a variety of platforms and devices. In early 2001 the company plans to publicly launch a suite of products for the home, securing its position as a market leader in this market.

"This award is testament to the hard work and creative thinking of the Qubit team," said David Armitage, president and CEO of Qubit Technology. "When we first announced the concept of the wireless WebTablet back in 1997, the response was overwhelmingly positive, proving the concept was right on. Now, we have to deliver on that promise and continue to innovate for our most important audience - the consumer."
