IFA

This week I went to the world's largest electronics fair (called IFA), held every year at the Berlin Convention Center. All the companies have some kind of display that showcases new products as well as history or whatever. Some companies had entire halls, like Samsung and SONY, and others just had small little tents, like Blackberry, etc. But it was huge. I have never seen so many flatscreen TVs. I spent about 7 hours there, and didn't even make it to each hall. The new big things are 3D television, and even more innovations in image crispness and overall thinness. It was a lot of fun. I went with my friend Stefan from Munich who I actually met in Panama. He works for Bosch Siemens (appliances), and had to go for work, so he got me a company pass to go with him. I also got a free lunch and beer out of it, since we had access to the Bosch Siemens special area where they wine and dine the buyers.
