Summary
After 10 years I visited this fair again and maybe this is the last visit. The fair shrunk from one of the biggest fairs in the world to the medium to big German fair. Usually from Slovenia two full Airbuses A320 flew to Hannover, but this time one Canadair Regional Jet with 50 seats was enough. Most of the big computer names were missing (like Oracle, HP, Apple, Toshiba...) and there were a lot of exhibitors for Far East.
My goal was to find new PND device for my flyWithCE Navigator program. All of the exhibited PND devices sucked on direct sunlight or the exhibitors would not allow me to go outside and test (even with their presence). Most likely they knew what would be the result – black screen. The visibility is very important and because of that the search for the perfect device continues.
I also saw few interesting things (like Google street view cars) and met two friends. With both of them I had no or almost no contact for more than 15 years.
Po 10 letih sem se spet odpravil na sejem, ki je sedaj samo bleda senca starega sejma. Mogoče je tbil to moj zadnji obisk CeBIT-a. Veliko dvoran je bilo zaprtih in tudi v preostalih se očitno vidi, kako so organizatorji poizkušali razporediti razstavljavce tako, da bi porabili kar največ prostora. Iz sejma svetovnega formata se je spremenil v malo večji lokalni sejem. Tudi iz Slovenije sta ponavadi poletela po dva Adriina Airbusa, ki jih je sedaj zamenjal en sam Canadair Regional Jet (namesto 320 samo 50 potnikov).
Osnovni cilj je bil poiskati novo napravo za moj program flyWithCE Navigator. Pocket PC računalnikov skoraj ni več in zaradi tega bi bila takšna naprava zelo zanimiva. Naprav je bilo veliko in tudi cene so primerne. Ker je bil petek sončen dan sem jih nekaj preizkusil tudi zunaj na soncu. Pri vseh se je zaslon spremenil v črno ploskev ali pa je bil zelo zelo težko berljiv. Lov na popolno napravo se tako nadaljuje.
Na sejmu sem videl tudi nekaj zanimivih stvari. Ena od njih so bili Google street view avtomobili. Na strehi imajo nameščene kamere in laserske senzorje za zajemanje 3D slike. Srečal sem tudi dve stari prijateljici. Prvo nisem videl že 15 let, drugo pa v istem času samo včasih za nekaj minut na ulici (čeprav stanuje zelo blizu).
