Why AndroidPIT Is Excited About IFA And You Should Be Too
This is the biggest electronics fair in the world; CES, Compstex, CeBIT? Nice, but IFA is where it's at. Last year's event, in the heart of one of the largest markets for Smartphones and consumer electronics attracted 235,000 visitors and generated roughly $5 Billion (yes with a”B”) worth of orders in 6 days. This is where the biggest of the big roll out the latest from their labs. And we here at AndroidPIT are going to bring you every minute of it.
Why Android fans should care
By now I'm sure you've all seen the Samsung teaser trailer, which hinted at a new cellphone announcement scheduled for this year's IFA. But that's not the only hot property to look for (Check back tomorrow for AndroidPITs complete list of IFA rumors) from new 3D systems to new entries into the tablet market this IFA will have something for everyone. But the real reason Android fans should be excited about this years IFA my surprise you; It's called the iPhone 5.
Before you spam my inbox with hate-mail hear me out. Apple has been teasing the release of their new phone for months now. Most rumors point to a mid September to early October release. That means this is the last chance the Android community has to enjoy the lime light before the next Iphone drops. Developers and manufactures know that the inertia they get from this years IFA will carry them through the hype-hysteria generated by Apple's next release. This is Androids last chance to impress and that's exactly what the community is aiming to do.

Here's a soultion: Buy a european phone. That's what's ebay is for.
This is so frustrating. The Europeans get the cool convention and the cool phones that come with it and were going to have to wait forever to get the phones over here! And then they're going to hamstring them with stupid additions no one wants.
Would this place be the wrong stop to admit that I dont think the Iphone is that bad? Anyway... getting away from the apple bashing... I agree with Zhu. Going to a convention like this would kick ass. Why does it have to be in Germany again?
Serious... who cares what apples does? Their fans are still going to buy it because it was blessed by his holyness and people who actually have done their homework will get the phone thats actually better and doesnt just have a piece of rotten fruit on it.
I was at Cebit once. So you know. I'm kind of a bit deal. but really I hope the new samsung handy is everything the rumors say it might be. I read somewhere that they might announce the Iphone5 on the last day of the IFA which is a really underhanded way to take the wind out of Androids sails. But if Samsung did their development right then it maybe they can dampen the hype.
wow... okay... I've never heard of the IFA before but it sound cool. I blame American media (kidding) but seriously I'd love to go to a convention like this. Just think of all the new toys they're going to be showing off. How much are plaine tickets again?
