CeBIT 2004 news: CeBIT 2004 starts today + Bill Gates still does not take seriously cell phone industry
March 18, 2004 [General]
Today in German city of Hannover in Central EU, starts the biggest Information and Communications Technology (ICT) trade show in the world: 7000 exhibitors and area bigger than areas of some cities.

The most popular German newspaper "Bild" got an exclusive text from Bill Gates about his future predictions (the text to the left; to the right: the new Symbian smartphone - Nokia 7610 with megapixel camera):

... unfortunately Bill Gates again proves that his overall vision has big holes and that he neglects cell phone industry.

In his text - which was written especially due to the CeBIT 2004 - Bill Gates writes among others:
TVs, DVD-players and other equipment will look the same in future but will be more intelligent and will have access to the Internet
till 2010 there will be 2 billion computers (mostly in "embedded" form - as part of other devices)
computers will be smaller and smaller and will be using much less power (what a revolutionary discovery!) and they will react to handwriting and voice
memory chips that will be able to store terabytes (one terabyte can store 600 hours video recording) of information are coming and will be very tiny
aritificial intelligence in machines is still far away
battery-less computers are coming - they will take energy from room temperature or from moves (when carried)
... but he is not mentioning Microsoft powered cell phones (MS Smartphone and Pocket PC phone)... so it is clear again: this man has no vision for cell phone industry.

Please watch msmobiles.com in coming days, where we will be reporting directly from Hannover from CeBIT about the latest news about Microsoft powered cell phones.
