PQI & Sennheiser Booths

PQI's Booth

 PQI's focus at this period seems to be its flash variety of products, from consumers to industrial applications.

 For industrial applications, PQI has been supplying flash-based hard drives for a while now. The largest shipping capacities for PQI at the moment are 128GB of 3.5-inch form factor, 64GB for 2.5-inch form factor and 32GB for a 1.8-inch form factor.

 However in a few months, PQI will have a 2.5-inch flash hard drive with a 128GB capacity. At the moment, it's in its early stage and as seen in the picture, it is physically larger than a standard 2.5-inch drive. If they can churn this fast enough, they could be the first to achieve this capacity.

Sennheiser's Booth

 This is Sennheiser's business class headset, the BW 900. However, its functionality is great for even home use, if the estimated price of 300 Euros isn't going to hurt the wallet too much. This headset is ideal to pair with Bluetooth capable phones/PDAs, Notebook/PC for VOIP phone use and it even connects to your normal PSTN phone line to enable one to answer calls via the Bluetooth headset.

 The powerful Bluetooth headset has an operating range of up to 100 meters from the base unit. The 'mouth piece' has built-in noise canceling technology while the earpiece automatically adjusts the volume depending on how noisy or quiet the surrounding environment and this works on the fly. The unit also a removable rechargeable battery and although the base acts as a recharging station, there is secondary battery within the base station to swap with the headset's own piece.

 Here's a 'head shot' of the BW 900 when worn.

 Another overall view of the Sennheiser BW 900.
