Gtrek were one of the smaller vendors showing their wares at the Gadget Show Live 2009 – but they did bring something cool with them – the Gtrek II! What is it, you might ask? Well: Gtrek monitors your movement and allows you to create a highly detailed graphical record of where you have been.…
Gadget Show Live 2009: BlackBerry
Another one of the big names at the Gadget Show Live 2009 was RIM with the BlackBerry brand. They brought a whole host of wall-mounted devices, all on quite a funky stand. There wasn’t anything new on show from what I could see – it was more about widening the BlackBerry profile to be a…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Garmin
Following on from Will’s post just now, and because I also visited the stand today, I’ll give a quick mention to Garmin! In addition to a wide product portfolio of Sat Nav devices, they also have two Mobile devices – the M20 and G60. The M20 is the Windows-powered device, the G60 is special cut…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Fatman!
I wandered past one stand today which had a major bit of Apple-integration – namely that of Fatman! What is Fatman – well best let them explain! Launched in the autumn of 2006, Fatman has quickly established its reputation for producing some of the best performing audio systems for use with Apple’s iPod, or indeed…
Gadget Show Live 2009: History of Gadgets
So, one of the stands at the Gadget Show Live 2009 was a “History of Gadgets” – it was nice to take some time out of the hustle and bustle, to go look at what was in the mix… Rapidly, I came across a glass cabinet that had a stack of “mobile” devices – some…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Pacemaker DJ
One of the stands that I wish I’d had more time to spend at was the Pacemaker DJ stand – what on earth is that you ask? No, it’s not a solution to deliver music to those people who happen to have a pacemaker fitted! Instead it’s all about this little chappie: This little bit…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Flip
Any of you that read my posts regularly will know that I’ve a bit of thing about recording mobile video of late. The Tech has changed SO MUCH in the last 12 months, it is ridiculous. Pioneers in the budget “mobile” video recording devices market were Flip – purveyors of the the Mino, and now,…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Sonim
One of the stands that I thought was great was the Sonim stand. For those of you that are not familiar, Sonim have been busy carving out a successful niche as the leaders of the ruggedised handsets market. Actually that’s a bit unfair – they pretty much have their own category of “indestructible handsets” –…
Gadget Show Live 2009: INQ Mobile
INQ, in case you didn’t know (where have you been?!) have developed a social-neworking handset. INQ are also a Hutchison Whampoa subsidiary, as is the Operator Group “3”, hence the logo you can see in the above pic. The INQ stand was pretty busy all day, with a constant buzz of people wanting to update…
Gadget Show Live 2009 – That was the day that was….
Well today I spent the day in Birmingham UK at the Gadget Show Live 2009 – a festival of all things tech and gadge! The setup: having been seeded tickets by a contact, I was in line to get in at the start of the show – or so I thought. Actually all three days…
