Update from CeBIT
By Frank Hagenson, Wednesday 2nd March 2011, Blog
Had a big day at CeBIT today. Cloud Computing seems to be the big thing this year, as well as the PC manufacturers showing off their new Intel i7 and USB3 models. There will be some goodies in a PC store near you this year. We talked to a lot of ruggedised PC manufacturers and distributors today. Rugged laptops and tablets are thin on the ground this year compared to last time I was here. Wierdest moment was seeing the Egyption trade pavilion. I had to feel sorry for them.

The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men.…

I just got everything booked to go to CeBIT next week. Unfortunately I left the accommodation booking a little late, but I managed to secure a small garden shed no more than 50km from Hannover. A brisk walk never hurt anyone. But seriously, I am looking forward to this. Anthony and I have got 2 days of navigating the biggest computer industry trade show in Europe. If you’ve never been, the first time you go to CeBIT, the sheer scale of the place bowls you over. Even 2 days will be leaving it tight to get a really good look at anything. We’re going to check out the latest in mobile and rugged computing devices from the big boys and the hundreds of innovative small manufacturers you find at CeBIT. If I get time, I’ll bang a few posts up of highlights from the…
