Everything is packed, I’m on the train, connected and in contact with team ‘MeetMobility’ (JKK and Sascha) for the start of our CeBIT 2009 coverage. This year we’re sponsored by our friends from Mobilx.eu so make sure you check out their website (i’m expecting them to put up prices for the Viliv S5 and UMID M1 very soon) while you’re waiting for the next post. You can also check out the latest ‘micro’ blogs which will fill you in on what’s going on in the background. Check out the center column on the front page for more information on the twitter accounts to follow and see my latest updates
As we mentioned in our Meet Mobility podcast on Saturday, the hype doesn’t feel as big as it was in previous years but we definitely have enough to cover. Asus Eee PC T91 and Viliv UMPCs are at the top of my list but there’s plenty more on the list too.
Saschas Taiwan highlights: (some in German)
- Eee PC T91
- Acer Aspire One D150 and ‘Slim’
- Eee PC 1000HE (Chicklet keyboard)
- Gigabyte M528
- Gigabyte. 10″ devices. Interesting slim netbook.
- Samsung. MID. NC20, NC10. VIA Nano UMPC.
- ASUS. T101.
- MSI. Slim netbooks.
- Intel Pavillion
- Viliv S5, S7, X70
I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the ‘midphone’ segment too. Big, slider-style WVGA smartphones is definately a trend we saw at MWC and I hope it continues.
We expect to hit the showground by 3pm for a snoop round. Intel have a booth tour shortly after that so there’ll be a good chance to see what they’ve got set up in their MID wall. Thanks for watching and enjoy the show.
