Introduction
Since a few years ago the beginning of every year means that we’re visiting three major expositions in three months time. The first is CES, which is organized in the city of Las Vegas at the beginning of January – this year we didn’t make it here, primary issue was money; well maybe next year. The second is the former 3GSM, which now runs under the name Mobile World Congress: this event in Barcelona is the most important for us, it is only about mobiles and, by the way, the venue is fantastic, as well as the time and weather (cool 20 °C), the surroundings are beautiful, so we just couldn’t miss this one.

CeBIT is in March, which is a bit too early compared to MWC. Mobile phone manufacturers announce all their new devices in February; in such a manner that many large companies don’t even come to the exhibition in Hannover. There is no Nokia stand, for example, and although Sony Ericsson was there, they have only announced a single device, while Samsung didn’t construct huge pavilions just to show some phones, although we could have seen some new pieces over here too.

Then why did we visit CeBIT? Hannover is quite a cold place in March, there is 11 hours of driving to be done to get there, there are lots of people and furthermore, simple tourists are also present, while only professionals were present in Barcelona. Well, what was missing from MWC’s Mediterranean environment, had two pavilions over here: this is navigation. That is what we came for, and we weren’t disappointed.
