Tech Amazing

Several state-of-the-arts gadgets and gizmos, many of which are yet to be launched, will be put on show during Dubai’s forthcoming mega consumer electronic event. The GITEX Technology Week, which is also to be accompanied with glamorous Tech-Walk Fashion Show, will provide a preview of brand new consumer technology products. According to organizers, the most recognised brand names in consumer technology like HP, Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo and Sharp will be displaying their new products at the ‘Gizmo Showcase’. Some of the latest technology on show will include designer mobile phones, MP3 players, HD cameras, and one of the biggest LCD screens in the world, they said.

“The best technology is not just built around an impressive specification any more. How the product is designed and looks is critical to get a younger generation enthused with the latest advancements. “Our tech-savvy audience will be eagerly anticipating the exciting line-up of cutting-edge consumer gadgets and product releases on display,” said Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General of the Dubai world Trade Centre. The Middle East is one of the fastest growing consumer electronic markets, with the total ICT spend in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) expected to rise by 50 per cent to $45 Billion by 2010, according to studies by IDC and IMF. The week-long exhibition is scheduled to be held here from 19-23 October this year.
