Europe’s largest consumer electronics show is almost upon us. The expo is considered as one of the biggest showcases of technology in the country and is notorious for making big announcements. This could be anything from surveillance equipment to new computer game consoles – The expo literally has it all! This year the show will be in Berlin, Germany and there are rumours of Phillips, Sony, Toshiba and Samsung to be there making some big revelations from new TVs to Blu-Ray players and walkmans.
The IFA is not just about the latest phones and computer technology, it also showcases the latest 'green technology'. In other words - technology that is eco-friendly and does not use up copius amounts of energy. You will be able to see prototype products being tested and previews of the latest gadgets to hand. At the expo you will also be able to see some other smaller companies showcasing their stuff. You could get to see anything from new night vision technology to the latest gadgets to improve on audio surveillance. The event is due to kick off on 4th September so you must hurry and get yourself a ticket if you are interesting in going.
In 2008 the expo proved to be a massive success with the spectacle being around the latest Samsung Jet phone which was released a little earlier this year. It was designed to rival the iphone and I think it has real potential. As the web and TV are very closely tied together these days you can expect to see numerous 3G concepts and plenty of wacky stuff that we will be seeing sometime next year. This year we have just seen the release of the 3G iphone which has completely blown people away with its endless capabilities on the net.
So, it would be worth it to keep an eye on the expo this year as there un-doubtedly going to be some awesome gadgets and gizmos out there for everyone!
