SAN DIEGO, February 16, 2004 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage, today announced that it has been honored with a 2004 Channel Intelligence Award for its online sales leads from Iomega.com to its channel partners in the storage category during the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
