The organizers and administration have really cool MWC 2011 pins. They’re on video! Here’s what they look like!



Day 0: The INTEL booth

Wait, it’s not a booth. It’s a portable office!

MWC Asides: Aha! What is this Android sticker hiding behind it?

Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at February 14th, 2011

The schwag at the Google booth is awesome. Android pins, Android coffee cups, Android stickers … stickers which can be really useful for hiding things. :)



Day 0: Jollibee Android Application seen on SMART Netphone

Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at February 14th, 2011

You’ve seen it here folks. Looks like Jollibee will be raking in a new market demographic. Since this app is WAC-enabled, it will allow any telco to house the application. The app has the potential to integrate with your payment gateway (in this case either COD or SMART Money). Watch the video.



Day 0: HP’s “Let’s Do Amazing”

I really had to take a photo of HP’s ‘Let’s Do Amazing’ tagline. It’s waiting to be meme-ed. On another note, webOS tablet tomorrow!

The Samsung booth is huge. They’re showcasing everything with full force.

More of this at MWC ’11 later!

Passing by the LG booth during construction, I was able to hang for a bit to see the fabrications they were putting up.

Yup. 8.9 inches ladies and gents. That’s the Optimus Pad.



Day 0: HUAWEI U8300 with cool form factor

Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at February 14th, 2011

At MWC we also cover gadgets that don’t make it to Philippine shores. Here is a phone that I hope will for the sole reason of form factor. Classic brick size, robust QWERTY keypad and BlackBerry Pearl like navi-ball (careful, this is prone to getting dirty!).
