Introduction, the exposition
As our regular readers possibly know already, we have, as our good custom is, traveled to Barcelona, to the exposition called Mobile World Congress – it changed its name since 2008 – to be able to give an account at first hand about the news, trends, technologies going to be presented there. This resulted in 32 news entries covering the most important events at MWC. Let’s stick a bit to numbers: the event in Spain has attracted this year 55.000 visitors, they had the possibility of visiting more than 1.500 stands at the exposition, that took place at an area with a size more than 30.000 square meters. According to a survey of the organizers, more than 2.700 articles have appeared in the press related to the events there; after some quick calculations it is visible than Mobilearsenal gave more 0.01% of this and that’s something.
I would now disregard of a subjective presentation of our experiences, though I would still give an account of some things before writing about the handsets. This might be particularly interesting for those who have already been at a similar event (CeBIT, CES or maybe Mobilshow). The most interesting and the most joyful thing at the same time was, that number of hostess girls at the stands is something that was very close to zero and we interpreted this as a fact that MWC is not about buggering people, but this is the place where those interested can talk with professionals. There was a surprisingly small number of these professionals present, just like in the case of press representatives, who were also very few in number and such they deserved a special attention. We have really liked this situation!
Most of the devices exposed were mobile phones; we have rarely met tech-stuff (thin LCD panels, different kinds of technologies, etc.), just like navigation and other portable devices. The hotbed for these devices is still CeBIT, taking place next month, an exposition we are sure to visit between March 4. and 9. After this nice ending let’s start concluding what we have seen, beginning with mobile phones manufacturers.
