CeBIT 2006: State of the Union

Day Two here at CeBIT in Hannover and we can safely say that we’ve trundled past all the big announcements. This is a huge show, but all of the real announcements seem to happen at U.S. and Asian shows unfortunately. But if you noticed what those announcements were—Origami, improvements in flash drives, lots of PMPs…

CeBIT ’06: Viliv P1 and N70

We were so happy to see the Viliv P1 on display here that we kind of scared the guy at the booth. The PMP is much bigger than I expected, with dimensions in the husky PSP range rather than the slick iRiver range. The video quality was excellent and the UI was pleasing and easy…

CeBIT ’06: Pantech G-3700

It’s just so hard to look at Asian phones. They have so much to offer and tweak so many pleasure receptors that you just want to hold on to them and walk out of the booth. The G-3700 here is really sexy, nice bright screen, and it looks like the RAZR if the RAZR wasn’t…

CeBIT ’06: Asus R2H Keyboard Interface

The Intel booth was also featuring the Asus R2H UMPC. Luckily we got a chance to take a look at the unique keyboard interface that has been oh-so-talked about and we missed in our demo yesterday.

Motorola doesn’t just make shiny phones.
