For those of you gadget-heads that don’t get enough of a fix at MWC (Mobile World Congress, formerly known as 3GSM), CeBIT only a few weeks in Hannover, Germany.
The main difference between the two shows is that whereas MWC is more of an Telecoms industry show (and is located in the very lovely Barcelona), CeBIT is a more general consumer electronics show.
Having been to both a number of times in my line of work, I would suggest if you can, you try and get to both at some point – because they offer very different things.
Anyhow, this year CeBIT is being held from the 4th to the 9th, in Hannover – and there are 27 (yes, 27!) halls of electronics goodness! Below you can see a plan of the site – for us, Hall 26 is the one with the Mobile goodies, although some companies such as Vodafone will probably have their own porta-cities (real BIG temporary structures) outside the halls:
So that’s it – just a heads-up for now that this big European CES is coming, and to sort ou your mode of transport, clean clothes, food, and time of work, so that you can attend!

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
