Can you live without them?
September is a time for changes and big challenges. Even in the world of technology, which gathers every year at Europe’s most prominent technology fair – IFA.
This year, the hottest topics seem to be convergence among smartphones, tablets, and TV, new 3D technologies, and incredibly light and thin laptops tryng to compete with MacBook Air.
As for the tablet wars, the battle over screen sizes continues with new alternatives to the iPad 9,7’’ standard – while the legal dispute between Apple and Samsung bursts into the fairgrounds with Galaxy Tab 7.7 being withdrawn right after its Berlin launch in respect of judicial decisions against Samsung.
But what happens around the technology giants getting all the media coverage and attention? We surfed the net in search for the most unusual, unexpected, and perhaps not too essential IFA gadgets. Check them out!
