IT Show 2008

Phew after meeting a clients this morning - i decided to pop down to the IT show with dearie to take a look see.

Then had dinner at Coffee Club :)
Phew i'm very tired so here's a quick summary ...

As usual - crowded - messy - lots of litter

lets see - some things that i remember from the show haha

- HP has a student promo ( again ) , AMD processor ( again ) , Tablet ( again ) - Sales person that attended to me ? : A student who knows almost nuts about hardware hired by HP to promote their laptop ( huh ? ) The only thing i heard being highlighted throughout the whole conversation went along the lines of "Touchscreen" , "AMD" , "Can draw one!" , "More sensitive screen!" , "cheap!" etc

- Sandisk got the a CF card - hmmm 8GB for 138 ? lol

- Apple MacBook air is sold out worldwide

- The hiPhone ( cheap china replica of the iphone with terrible graphics ) looks identical to the iphone from the top view. But really sucks the moment you activate it.

- iPod replicas are almost as good as the real thing ( minus the very sensitive wheel of the ipod )

- Panasonic Tough Book - Not so tough. Anything above 1m and it might spoil. and NO if i accidentally spill some sticky stuff on the keyboard i cannot use a pressure hose to clean it up - the keys will be blown right off lol

- Toshiba : $:9.80 for a 1GB Thumbdrive

- Axioo : they have their laptops etc made in Indonesia?! - 1 sales person claimed "Axioo is a Singapore Brand - everything is in Singapore" another claimed "Axioo is a Singapore brand - but its actually assembled in Indonesia"

- you can get mice for $1 each XD

- Axioo - lures pple to booth with free pop corn

Phew i'm tired haha better go sleep now.
here's a pic i managed to snap of my kitty in the morning (:
