2006 Taipei IT Show – by Yada from “Palm Is Life“

The “2006 Taipei IT Show” has begun on December 2 at the World Trade Center (WTC) Taipei, Taiwan. I went to the show on last Sunday and took a lot of pictures. Not much on description, just let pictures speak!
Exhibition Hall #3 of WTC

PlayStation 3 – Some PS3 games were demonstrating on a 1080P HDTV screen, seems I have to leave the PS3 behind then to get enough money to buy this HDTV display first…
