First day back in the office since the whirlwind that is the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona - what a week!
After setting up the stand over the weekend (which wasn’t without issues), we were ready to go first thing Monday. Some shows take a day or so to really heat up, but in Barcelona, once the opening whistle went at 9, we were welcoming visitors immediately. It was a long four days (our feet have almost recovered), but extremely interesting and ultimately very rewarding.
It was the first time that we’ve got to demonstrate trakAxMobile to the industry and the response was overwhelming. There was plenty of buzz around Windows Mobile devices, with some really lovely new phones being shown at the show, but the one thing that people mentioned over and over again was that trakAxMobile really brought a “fun” element to the platform. We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to visit us - we met so many interesting people. The hard work starts now, following up! We really do appreciate all the kind comments and interest in the application and we look forward to getting in touch with everyone we met.
Unfortunately/ fortunately, we were so busy at the stand and at meetings, we didn’t have a huge amount of time to take videos and photos, but I managed on one of my lunch breaks to take a quick few shots (on a Samsung i600) - here a short collage of the show, which will hopefully give you an idea of the mayhem and the crowds (BTW - for some reason, I took some of the photos on a low-res setting, so they are slightly blurred, if you take the photos on the default setting on the Samsung, you should have no issues):
The music track used is creating using the following trakPacks:
Importa - 0061: Drum and Bass
Importa - 0062: Drum and Bass
Importa - 0066: Drum and Bass
Importa - 0068: Drum and BassThanks again and as always, if you would like more information on trakAxMobile, please do not hesitate to contact me: .
