Elcoteq representatives visited the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on February 15-18, 2010. This year’s theme was Vision in Action. After last year’s decline in visitors a new record was broken with around 49,000 participants from 200 countries and over 1,300 exhibitors showcased their products and services.
One highlight of the show was the announcement of several wireless operators from around the world. They had formed an alliance for a new open platform for distributing applications for users of all mobile operating systems. In addition, Samsung revealed its bada operating system as well as Microsoft its Windows Phone 7 Series. Besides the introduction of several new operating systems, new smartphones were introduced. HTC unveiled two Android OS models, the Legend and Desire with its Sense user interface, as well as the HD mini with the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. Motorola demonstrated its MotoBlur on the Quench, a new smartphone with Google’s operating system. Sony Ericsson introduced the Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro models designed to work with Google’s OS on small screens. Also Samsung Wave drew attention to its new smartphone equipped with Super AM-OLED technology and high-fidelity colors. The accompanying conference featured opening keynotes given by CEOs of several major mobile companies such as Research in Motion, Alcatel-lucent and Vodafone. They painted a rather bright picture of the soon to be over recession, claiming the start of a new decade for the mobile industry.
