Cebit closes door on
gadget fest
BBC News -
E,UK
The booths that have been home to tech firms for the last week are being
dismantled and the gadgets carefully packed away as Cebit 2005, one of the
world's largest technology show, draws to a close.
Organisers have hailed the show as a great success although critics suggest
there have been fewer product launches and innovations than in previous years.
Telephony has dominated the fair, from a plethora of newly launched mobiles
offering higher resolution cameras and integrated MP3 players to home phones
that allow users to make cheap internet calls.
The digital home, created especially for the show, proved a hit with visitors.
Big and small
Not all were convinced that the home truly represented the future for
technology.
But it was digital - with wallpaper that transformed into a video screen,
lighting and music that could be changed depending on mood, and smart appliances
- such as a washing machine that adjusted its settings in accordance with radio
chips attached to clothing.
