Err who was it who said “Shape is the new king?” I cannot for the life of me remember but it doesn’t half seem to be catching on… Shown above† are some new Samsung Square Displays they are err ‘square’ – that’s right Alex, a square, i.e. a plane figure with four equal straight sides […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

“Impressive Scala Plans For #ISE2012” we wrote back in the middle of January and we haven’t been let down… And whilst there are some 600 MicroTiles on display around #ISE2012 itself we really liked what Scala (and their content partner) had done with their allocation of 35… (the photo wasn’t posed by the way – […]

#ISE2012 What Has Happened To @invidis And DiSCO?

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

By all accounts Comqi’s Ajay Chowdhury did his usual excellent presentation at the DiSCO event in Amsterdam Monday morning but even if we were to take the high end estimates of who was there, it was a very poorly attended event and so few would have heard him (and he is a very good speaker […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We wrote MOOH Group DOOH Loos For Number One’s back in November 2011 and we received something like 22 facebook shares, 40+ tweets and 100’s of reads and so this is likely to be a popular exhibit (even more popular I’m sure if they were in use)… MOOH Group will provide the content creation, media […]

Our first picture of #ISE2012 taken 20 minutes ago pre-show opening is of @NEC_Display_EU’s Booth… They have a whole host of press briefings lined up for today so no doubt we’ll all be regular visitors throughout the day. And this picture below (kindly supplied by NEC themselves) shows an awesome FIDS video wall… NEC are […]

#ISE2012 Pre-Show Bits And Pieces

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

#ISE2012 pre-show registrations stood at 38,870 so no doubt there are plenty of organisers hoping to break the magical 40,000 barrier – whether the snow and cold weather will affect the number of no-shows or the number of drop-ins (do they even have drop-in traffic?). With over 800 booths and 31,000 square meters of floor […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Well it didn’t take long for that first bit of juicy gossip to reach us from #ISE2012 and the event proper hasn’t even started yet! Armed with said gossip we sent one of our stringers (she had an exhibitor badge – us mere mortals with press badges are rightly not allowed on the show floor […]
