The Wonders of CeBIT 2006

I spent most of the day out at CeBIT 2006 in Sydney.

I bumped into a lot of old faces from the past, and I saw lots of gadgets and assorted eye candy.

When I first arrived, I made a bee line to the UMPC which had been bought into the country by Australia's Number One Tablet Guy, Hugo Ortega. I got to play with it for a good 15 minutes, and I agree with Hugo's conclusion - it's a good "workhorse".

Following my geek out with the EO, I wandered a few of the halls and had a look at what was on show.

I then had the pleasure to meet the folks from Motion Computing. Don't know who Motion Computing is?

They gave me a present:

It supports ink. Has a long lasting power source. It's really light. It's got unlimited storage.

Yes, it's a cardboard box in the shape of the LS800 which is an enterprise ready Ultra Mobile Tablet device. LOL

After all the excitement of the morning, I had to sit down, have a quiet coffee and gather my strength for the afternoon...

See what's happening at CeBIT!
