"For 22 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations that surprise and
amaze us--those that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge
our views of what's possible in the future," said Mark Jannot, Editor-in-Chief
of Popular Science. "The Best of What's New Award is the magazine's top honor,
and the 100 winners--chosen from among thousands of entrants--represent the
highest level of achievement in their fields."

"We are thrilled to be recognized by the editors at Popular Science," said Dr.
Simon Milner, Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Business
Unit, Consumer and Communications Business Group at Marvell Semiconductor.
"The SheevaPlug is sparking a revolution in computing and application
development. Developers today are creating everything from data analysis
programs, media management, home and office automation systems on the
SheevaPlug platform -- a palm-sized, always-on, easily-accessed platform that
uses less than two watts of power."

SheevaPlug supports almost limitless applications.  A Plug Computer is small
enough to plug directly into a wall socket and is designed to draw so little
power that it can be left on all of the time. Therefore, it makes
high-performance, always connected, and environmentally friendly computing
readily available for developers and end-users.  The Plug Computer ecosystem
is rapidly expanding to include a full value chain of product partners,
application developers and educational institutions.  For more information
