EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA - Axiotron, Inc., a leading proprietary high-tech hardware solution provider, announced today that it has finalized its schedule of Macworld booth activities and seminars to showcase the unparalleled design functionality and broad range of applications offered by its award-winning Modbook™.

Scheduled for the main presentation area of booth S-408, each of Axiotron’s guest presenters will conduct a set of practical mini-seminars and demonstrations, giving attendees a chance to see the award-winning, Apple-authorized Modbook in use by today’s top designers, photographers and artists. In conjunction with the daily center-stage booth presentations, a team of representatives from Adobe®, Microsoft®, Corel®, Autodesk®, Circus Ponies™ Software, GPSNavX™ and Vision Objects® will demonstrate the Modbook’s broad range of application functionality and pen-based illustration options at Axiotron’s ongoing in-booth demonstration stations.

In addition, all booth-goers will have the opportunity to enter a daily booth raffle for a chance to win valuable prizes that include powerful software such as Corel® Painter™ X and Windows Vista® Ultimate (which is fully installable on the Modbook using Boot Camp®). During each raffle, three 20% discount coupons will also be distributed for the purchase of a custom-configured Modbook. And, as the grand prize at each raffle, one lucky booth-goer will be awarded a brand new Axiotron Modbook.

The raffles will take place at the main presentation area of booth S-408 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 3:00pm. All raffle participants will receive a 5% discount coupon toward their purchase of a customized Modbook solution courtesy of Other World Computing, the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Modbook.
