Title: EEVblog #614 Part 2 - Cebit Australia 2014 Walkaround
Post by: EEVblog on May 12, 2014, 01:47:16 am
Dave walks around Cebit Australia 2014 at Homebush Bay in Sydney.
Show highlights footage here: EEVblog #614 - Cebit 2014 Highlights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwAhluh7MUE#ws)
If you don't like shaky hand held walking footage, motion blur, or camera image stabilisation, don't watch it, no complaints. I do not have a steadycam, and I don't want advice on a steadycam, and I don't care how much you can't watch it. Thanks.

"It could take 20 minutes to walk through"   :-DD How sweet.

20 minutes is what it takes to just enter the first exhibition hall at the real CeBit. On a good day.

The Dextro robotic arm looks interesting, nice stable movements, but I can't find anything about it on the web.

You need a steadycam Dave, I couldn't watch it. My mate knows all about them, I'll get him to give you some advice.

In some little countries you shouldn't forget to brake with your car. Otherwise you are already in the next country.  ;D

Dave:

You should try to attend CES.  I go every year.  The size dwarfs all other shows.  It is in Las Vegas and fills three venues.

Fun to go just to see it.

And you should know, that in some little countries the police are entitled to penalize you if you say something like that to the cops  ;D
Happened to a colleague on his transit through the Netherlands...
His original speeding ticket was 5 times as high after that little remark of his  :-DD

Sorry for a stupid question, just curious: why was this video uploaded after the PART 1? Aren't they chronologically reversed?

Because that's just the way I chose to edit them. Highlights was the main video, the walkaround is just a bonus video.

Of course I know that. The point I was trying to make there is that nobody uses Blackberries any more, they are going under:

BB dead? Not here, they own the bottom end of the market, or at least pretty much all the cheap PAYG phones are blackberry.  Hard to get a low end Nokia or Samsung new unless you are willing to enter into a 24 month contract. last time I went into the Vodacom shop ( now remodelled) cheapest non contract phone was $200. If I want a cheap phone i will go to CNA or Makro and buy one and toss the SIM card away, I am not interested in being a CellC subscriber. New Crackberry is around $100, and you often see them sold as a side offer on another phone. There is also a thriving repair business, as these phones are used so much that keyboard repair is common.

My Blackberry is awesome. And it's my hot spot for my Android tablet when wifi is not available. It manages all of my 10 email accounts and it's secure as it can be. No glitches, slowdowns nothing, just like a phone should be :)

I think is because they are so durable that they don't sell more. I would love one of their new ones, but mine has been doing great for many years.
