Sometimes I walk the show base at a Macworld Expo , it amazes me how quickly estimate develop and are brought to market place . This workweek in Boston was no different .
There were some familiar case and companies exhibiting in Boston like Harman Kardon , who deliver the goods a Best of Show prize for itsDrive + PlayiPod gadget . I was rosy enough to spend some metre with Harman and recreate with the Drive + Play before the booth was crammed with attendee . I do n’t think there was a meter I walk by Harman Kardon ’s spot on the show level that there were n’t several the great unwashed inside the Drive + Play - equipped BMW the companionship had on the show floor .
Companies like Harman and Software MacKiev always have really coolheaded products to show , but there were some other companies that made their first tripper to a Macworld Expo this calendar week .
The one that stands out in my mind the most isDelapod . This company — operate by a husband and wife team — visualize a need in the iPod market for women ’s handbag . Unlike some other products marketed to woman , this product looks like a posh pocketbook , not a born-again articulatio humeri bag .
The intriguer , Joallyn Cartwright and her husband Dave , put a flock of thought into the details of having a handbag that would also be functionally utilitarian for an iPod owner . One zip fastener sack inside the purse opens , allowing you to feed the earbuds through to the exterior of the pocketbook , while another zip pocket opens to conform to the iPod .
The iPod can be project while in the handbag from the readable window , which is design to be face you instead of facing the outside where other people can see it . The main controls can also be accessed through the window , permit you to pause , play , alteration playlists , and so forth .
These were just a few interesting product and people I came across at Macworld Expo Boston this past hebdomad . It reminded me , once again , that the level of competition among Mac developer and hardware provider is spring up . And that ’s convey more innovative products to the industry — always a good matter for Macintosh and iPod drug user .
