Denver – In what was one of the more evenly matched Retailvision award contests, wireless surveillance camera maker WiLife took home two awards while the remaining nine plaques went to nine different companies.
WiLife took home the Best Hardware and Best New Technology awards, while Neat Receipts, which makes a portable business card/receipt scanner, won for Best Peripheral. Battery Biz was named Best Accessory and Stamps.com won Best Software for its application that placed a digital image onto a postage stamp.
Best Product: Digital Home went to mStation for its iPod audio products, while another iPod-family member Mophie won Best Retail Strategy. Griffin Technology took the stage for Best Merchandising and the Continental Promotions Group was named Best Presenter.
