CeBIT 2005
First day at CeBIT today. After the traumatic journey from Braunschweig where the train was as full as a tube train in the rush hour, I finally changed trains and got to Hannover Messel Station where CeBIT was taking place. First thing that struck me, it’s massive. 27 Halls. I only really had to check out a few of them though as finance and business etc are stuff I have no interest in.
I just looked at phones really on the first day. There were many. I had been asked to look at DVB technologies, and a few manufactureres were showing this in use. Sumsung for example had loads of DVB-H phones working.
Second day I checked out mp3 players, of which there were hundreds, and other electronic gadgets really. There was actually more bits that make bits rather than consumer goods on show so it all got a bit dull after a while. I have a link below to all the photos I took. I will add more descriptions to these over time. All in all it was an interesting trip if not a bit tiring and maybe a bit too business and marketing specific for me who just wanted to play with cool things.
I’ve uploaded all my photos of the event on flickr for everyone to see.
