1)      IFA 2006: From 1 to 6 September in Berlin

Eight months after announcing their decision to hold the IFA on an annual basis, the early conclusions of its organisers, Gesellschaft für Unterhaltungs- und Kommunikationselektronik (gfu) and Messe Berlin, are positive. Over 80 per cent of the display area on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds occupied at the IFA 2005 has already been rented out. COO Messe Berlin Dr. Christian Göke says: “It is particularly worth noting that numerous exhibitors have approached us to request larger stands. What is more, there has been an increase in demand from the telecommunications and IT sectors to attend the IFA. Overall, the decision to hold the IFA annually has boosted the international standing of this trade fair venue“. In recent years the CE industry has grown considerably. This development can be attributed to the large appeal of innovative, digital products and services which drive innovation in the CE market along at high speed. Chairman of the Supervisory Board of gfu, Dr. Rainer Hecker, points out: “The IFA 2006 will mirror the lively pace of these developments. Two months before the fair opens its doors the number of registrations received shows that the international CE industry is also backing the decision to hold the IFA every year. The IFA 2006 is on course for success“.

3)      Toshiba: s35 All-Round Projector

Introducing the new s35 model, Toshiba Projection & Display Technology (PDT) presents an all-round projector. The Toshiba s35 represents the ideal choice for home cinema newcomers who are looking for fun watching movies on a high-quality device. On first sight, the Toshiba s35 will strike users by its elegant design and its solid housing. The inside, however, can undoubtedly keep up with the outward appearance as the technical specifications show: A brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens allows for easy use even under difficult lighting conditions. The well-known DLP technology is significantly responsible for the high contrast ratio of 2000:1. A clear image in SVGA resolution as well as natural colour representation round off a positive impression. The projector can be switched from native 4:3 format to 16:9. The Toshiba s35 is also optionally available as a business device with removable camera. However, the s35 is mainly dedicated to home cinema newcomers. The icon-based on-screen display, which is designed similarly in all Toshiba models, supports intuitive handling. Trapezoid equalization allows for flexibility. It optimizes the projected image and allows for superb image quality.  Thanks to a little weight of only 3.0 kilos the device is suitable for mobile use. Toshiba also offers a model with removable camera that is suitable for conferencing rooms or classrooms.
