Macworld's 1999 Editors' Choice Awards

Wednesday, January 05, 2000
In honor of Macworld Expo, we are highlighting five of the 1999 Editor's Choice Awards. These products enhance the life of any Mac user and were chosen during one of the best years for all things Macintosh.
And the winners are...

MP3 product

Diamond Multimedia Systems' Rio 500 ($270) is smaller than a sardine can, yet it allows you to tote more than an hour's worth of your favorite MP3 tunes wherever you go. With easy-to-use controls, a simple drag-and-drop USB interface, and no moving parts, the Rio is your key to making sweet music.

Consumer hardware

If you haven't been wowed by one of Palm Computing's Palm organizers, it's only because you haven't used one. The Palm IIIe ($179) comes with the same high-contrast screen, RAM, and applications as the top-of-the-line Palm V, but without the hefty price tag.

Digital camera

The Coolpix 950 ($999), from Nikon, tops our list when it comes to overall features and price. Using a 2.11-million-pixel CCD, this camera effortlessly delivers impressive, detailed images. Its accurate autofocus, 8MB of default memory, and high-resolution two-inch LCD display will satisfy most consumers. Professionals will find it an excellent alternative to more-expensive high-end digital cameras.

Internet client software

Microsoft Outlook Express 5 Macintosh Edition (free), offers a collection of features that will satisfy just about any email user out there. Although some may find its multipaned interface a bit crowded, there's no denying the power of its hyperlink-rich, database-driven, mailbox interface and the ease of its intuitive address book.

Server software

Apple's trailblazing QuickTime Streaming Server (free), brings the quality of QuickTime to the platform of your choice through open-source licensing of a standards-based server. QuickTime Streaming Server also frees creative professionals by not imposing a per-stream "server tax."
