Mobile Wireless Products, PDAS Make Big Splash at Smaller CeBIT

摘要

At this year's CeBIT, the huge exhibition of office automation equipment and communications equipment in Hanover, Germany, three industry trends came into sharp focus. First was the emergence of applications for wireless technologies, a key theme of this year's show. Reinforcing this theme was the "anytime, anywhere" slogan for the event. The second trend in evidence at the show was the wider acceptance of personal digital assistants (PDAs) as practical information tools. Viewed with skepticism at earlier shows by many in the industry, PDAs at this year's show were widely used and displayed. Many PDAs were rented out to serve as electronic guides, and many mobile phones on display had PDA functions.
