In fact, the Asus team came away from the event with the Greater China region's first ever iF gold medal for product design, and other local designers managed to take home 28 of the 542 awards presented. Such results represented a huge improvement on 2003's 14 awards, and for the first time matched those of designers from leading Korean firms such as Samsung and LG.
以德國 iF 設計獎項的「產品設計」類來說，當年共有 31 國、2,332 件參賽作品，台灣得到 542 座獎項中的 28 座，大幅超越前年的 14 座，也首次追平由三星、LG 等大企業領軍的南韓。
