Haven’t had access to a private browser until now, having got to the stand early and taking the time.

Not a huge amount to relate from here - it’s not as busy as last year,  but that still translates to a lot of people. Nothing dramatically new, and interestingly, not a vast amount of iClones. Samsung and LG offering some gorgeous hardware with some t00-busy user interfaces.

The coolest hardware on offer was the Readius, the first roll-up screen device I’ve seen. Very low power static screen. It’s very much an early product, but it could point to the future.

The second coolest hardware was the JCB Tough Phone, a ruggedised, waterproof device for builders and extreme operating environments. The video showing them testing them is as cool as the phones.

On the software side, everything is jumping, spinning and multimediaing. Multiple, concatenated buzzwords are clearly the order of the day, and certainly in the areas of interest to me there was nothing particularly new or exciting.

However people’s attitudes are different - much more practical, real. Looks like projects might actually be happening. At last.

We’ve posted some pictures here.
