Techcrunch, myself and the CEATEC

I went to CEATEC yesterday, Asia's biggest exhibition for IT and electronics.

Hmm, what should I say: It was cool, but not really that exciting. Sony's OLED TV was the biggest sensation: 2,88 mm (MILLIMETERS) thin. But the prototype is very small and reminded me of a car navigation system screen. I am sure Sony will make something of this in the future though.

The aftermath
After the exhibition closed, I was invited by John Biggs to a reception at a near-by hotel. John is writing for the almighty Techcrunch imperium (he is also editor-in-chief for CrunchGear).

We were joined by Umihiko Namekawa, the Japanese Web 2.0 guru. Namekawa-san is a blogger, author and also responsible for Techcrunch Japan. I also met Tadashi-san, senior editor at Gihyo, a publishing company (web, software, technology etc.).

We all went to Tokyo City after the reception and had fun in Quentin Tarantino's favorite Japanese bar. For a picture and details, go to CrunchGear.
