SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec 20, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Transmeta Corp.'s (TMTA) Crusoe microprocessor and Crusoe-based notebook computers won significant awards for innovation in mobile computing at all three major U.S. computer industry shows in 2001.

The Crusoe-based Fujitsu FMV-Biblo Loox T won the overall Best
of Show award and the Crusoe-based NEC Versa DayLite and Casio
Cassiopeia FIVA notebooks were also honored as finalists for
the award.

of Show award winner in the Innovations 2001 Computer Hardware
