Frankly, even in the morning before going to the exhibition mood has dropped below zero degrees. On the thermometer the mercury stubbornly did not want to rise above the desired minimum. Even more the situation worsened when the still had to go outside. Nothing presaged a successful trip. Cyclone generously shared piercing wind exclusively northbound and overcast sky speaks for itself. However, as so often happens, the debt is above the desires and the next exhibition, "Feedback Expocomm" we still go, the more that friendly company HPC.ru warmed to each other, letting the toughest resistance to cool May.

Gradually approaching the Expocentre, we are continually confronted with the Russian reality. First, private carters in the majority of Caucasian nationality excitedly offered to ride "The girls" here and now rather than waiting for the bus. 50, 40, 30, 20 rubles ... It was possible and to bargain, and complain, and just chat. Oh, and on a minibus prices also varied from 10 to 20 rubles, in general, everyone was much to make money as he could. Reaching all the same to the place we were greeted by a flurry of offers complimentary tickets with different prices. True, after the fifth lost count, but closer to the tenth not restrained in expression, so the objective statistics has failed. Without reaching a few meters to the entrance, we saw the tray of pirated CD - yet another manifestation of domestic realities. But here we finally got to the final destination of our journey and are willing to share with you the most interesting fact that caught my eye and captured on a flash card camera.

A lot of dust and slack. This is the first impression of the exhibition. Business youngsters scurrying hither and thither in search of another trophy, offering instead discouraged foreigners modest smile and laughter. Competitions, various performances, body painting topless, handing out of everything-all, in general, teenagers have been, where carousing.
However, did not disdain it and older people that sometimes it looked very funny - it's too crudely looked older guys with trunks paper. Unfortunately, the freebies have little interest, but because of its diversity can be judged only by the lucky holders of those yellow buckets and huge queues for any bag or bags.
Much more remarkable to us seemed very exposition.
"Feedback Expocomm" this year, really pleased with saturated pavilions, as well as the presence of almost all large and very many smaller brands. Last timidly enter the Russian market, but we are sure, will soon conquer the proper position, lured some consumers from the giants. By the way, we are interested in communicators and smartphones heaped newcomers represent not resolved, it remains the prerogative of large companies such as Samsung.
This manufacturer, having rented a separate mini-pavilion presented him its products, including monitors, laptops, phones and much more. We, of course, most interested kompyuterizirovannyn phones, they just communicators. No less remarkable were smartphones from Samsung.
Especially interesting SPH-i550 - just straight from the tin smartphone running the operating system Palm OS. Compact and lightweight, it is not too different in terms of mobility from an ordinary phone, but has full filled PDA. On the technical details do not dwell, as recently wrote about this in the news, however, note that the device is really remarkable and makes for a quick look very positive impression. We are waiting for retail sales ...
Of a similar SGH-i530. It is also a Palm OS-phone-computer in a compact package, the main competitor of last year's Handspring Treo 600. Machine is notable, above all, a camera with flash and an enviable compact. Read more about it written here.
Finally, pleased with his presence SGH-D710 and SGH-i250. These "clever" managed by the Symbian OS and Microsoft Smartphone 2003, respectively. The first model has a powerful camera and high-quality display other details about it, we have already briefly described. As for the SGH-i250, then this new remarkable presence of Bluetooth, high-quality camera and expansion slots, as well as many other delights (see picture).
However, the main highlight of the computer display of the phone has Samsung PDA SPH-i700. Machine, of course, velikovata, and that it is much inferior to the aforementioned little girl, but also features in it more - it is a typical PPC-phone with camera. More information about the new product - here.Incidentally, in the Russian market, this gimmick is expected by the end of this year, about the cost, though no one yet willing to say no.
From the telephone range is particularly attracted the attention of pretty SCH-V500. Designed for the Asian market and is designed to work in networks CDMA, it is interesting rather bizarre exterior. In addition, the screen device supports QVGA resolution and displays 262.144 colors. There is also a megapixel camera with flash. In general, a noble thing, it is a pity, not for our customers.

In addition to Samsung with a computer point of view stand out company LG. It showcased more than a remarkable communicator SC8000. Just as the SPH-i700, the novelty is quite large and weighty. But in contrast to the 700-th, an external antenna is used to have eight-satellite navigation, as eloquently demonstrated appropriate inscription - GPS. Unfortunately, to test this possibility, in practice not possible - in the room, as is known, the function does not work, and get out of the warm hall outside the girl-promoter flatly refused. Technical capabilities of new items to be extremely tasty, as well as we have already mentioned. We especially liked the slide-out keyboard - it significantly reduces the already considerable dimensions of the device.

Another notable exhibit on the "Feedback-Ekspokomm'2004 was Nokia N-Gage 2. Not so long ago had come from Europe, she found herself in a single copy and shyly hid behind glass. On request to show the beautiful closer, giving her plenty to consider and touch, we refused, and therefore limit external observations and photos.
Not too much changing its form factor, "second", however, has many differences from the "first". The new design, first, it looks more organic and stylish, that's only successfully ergonomics doubt - it's too close to each other now sheltering key. Suffered, and functionality. Especially not enough mp3-player - a more than controversial move producer, and the absence of radio, many also do not approve. Well, for a final verdict is to wait for practical communication, the benefit remains for long. In addition to the famous game console Nokia demonistrirovala and their "intellectuals".
Were presented at the exhibition and PDAs, but only retailers, and notable among these models, we have not met - all displayed in a store network computer in the palm. "

Conventional Sotovik we are not too interested because of computer resource topics, but it is worth noting an unusually appetizing model GX-E30 from Sharp. This unit will debut the product front phone company, which manufacturers will come to us in Russia. New product designed to operate in GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, should appear in stores this summer, and it costs $ 700, that is, no less than a good smartphone / communicator. Zest models - megapixel camera with video recording with sound and seven-time digital zoom. The rest of the phone is almost standard. There are MP3-player, expansion slot standard SD, Bluetooth, Infrared, Java, GRPS, and other routine technocracy. Dimensions are new items - 26 x 95 x 49 mm and weighs the same at 110 grams. Battery life in standby is 230 hours, and during the conversation, it is reduced to 210 minutes. Looks like the device quite ordinary - the usual clamshell and nothing more. However, there is a case where the "soul" is more important.

Of the interesting developments worth noting prettification naked bodies of Russian beauties, in what could participate each, or more precisely, everyone. Male audience from afar has closely followed the process, actively encouraging member states.
Several off-topic, but still entertaining booth was organized by Intel - displayed the leading notebook vendors and advertised Centrino technology with the appropriate talking up the Wi-Fi.
In general, the exhibition was surprisingly a lot of different performances: someone just shake a leg at a pep music, someone undress, someone gave prizes in general were a lot of fun, that's just summed up the weather, and warm up as the audience could not be Even so lovely freebie.
By the way, "Feedback-Ekspokomm'2004" pleased not only to high-tech mobile communications solutions, but also quite a anachronism in a nutshell - disk of phone from a beautiful far, display and sell in all seriousness. True, and their prices are symbolic ...
Home each took away as much as could have also carried out. Inveterate hunters with their trophies ordinary was visible from far away ... In general, past the Red Presnya action has made us quite a positive impression - not too pompous, moderately rich, quite funny, and occasionally quite funny. Despite the small drops of tar, the event left a feeling of celebration, and it should agree that the main thing. We hope that next year will be worse. The authors, translation:
