It's being updated every day until the end of the show on March 22nd.<br /><br />I wonder what kind of PDA he's using... :D

From the second-to-last entry there, it looks like he's got an iPAQ H5450/H5455/H5550/H5555.
It's really cool for them (at Cebit) to provide their maps on a lot of different data formats.

An HP iPaq 5450 - using Netfront to upload the images (as Pocket Explorer will NOT support the type=file form tag!!!! (for uploading)

Attached to the iPaq was a 1.3 MegaPixel HP 'photosmart' SD slot camera.

I also/mainly used a Sony Ericsson P800 AND P900 to snap photos, upload and blog direct from the built in browser (which DOES support the 'Browse' form tag) :)

At one stage, using the 4 hours of WiFi access I bought, I sat in one of the Cafes and using my Mac G4 powerbook to upload and blog entries over the Wifi using the built in Airport card.

Images from the iPaq and phones were sent to the laptop over Bluetooth using a small USB bluetooth dongle.

All in all, the whole experience was gadgetastic!

Glad you enjoyed the entries!

pps: by FAR the nicest, most useful gadget I saw was the Motorola MPx.
Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition (with landscape and portrait view), Bluetooth, GPRS and WiFi all in. Camera. Phone..

I want one of these.. and I want one NOW!!!! ;)

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I was pretty sure you were using a PPC, but it's good to hear it from the source. :D

I like your campervan. :mrgreen:

hmmm.. yesssss.. the campervan!!!

all we could do was laugh. In fact it was a GREAT idea as it turned out.

While most visitors had to endure a potentially long journey by train or taxi to get to the showground, we simply had to walk out of the car park/campervan park, cross the road and we were there!

Actually, I'd reccommend it to anyone. They were all brand new vans, with toilet, shower, kitchen, fridge (unstocked! :( ), TV, etc.

The only bad thing was the signal to the site's WiFi network, which I had bought time on, didn't reach the campervan :(

(so I had to resort to getting online using my Mac and P900 connected by Bluetooth over GPRS)
