Today the ‘Internationale Funkausstellung’ kicked off in Berlin. As I can imagine, a slight wtf-feeling should now start to emerge. German words tend to have that effect on people, but in this case I can assure you it’s worth it. As the world’s leading Consumer Electronics (CE) order platform, IFA provides a complete overview of the entire market. IFAÂ is the perfect place to find out about consumer preferences, trends, and market developments and represents an ideal market for lucrative order placements. IFA is heaven to any marketeer.
A few examples of what you can find there :
* Samsung M70, a notebook with a 19 inch detachable screen.
* Electronic and Photonic Textiles prototypes aka The SMS-Pillow.
* Thomson EV5203-C : Linux VoIP DECT Phone.
* Blu-ray Disc Format, by CyberLink & HP.

My girlfriend and me have booked our vacation yesterday afternoon. We’re going to the sunny isla named Mallorca, underneath Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. Flights are booked, reservations made… we’re off on the 9th at 6 am (cet) to have a break before school’s starting again.
We’ll visit Martin from Movil, who’s about to become a father. I think his first kid/son is ‘due’ on the 14th, and me and my girl will be there until the 16th :) Great ! Just great ! I’m really looking forward to it. Lucky me. Sunny beaches, here I come !
