The Computex 2010 in Taipei, one of the largest IT fairs in Asia, has 3D displays and iPad clones as major themes. Asus and Acer are presenting their newest tablet PCs, now that Apple has revived this drooling market segment with the iPad. Everything that Steve Jobs touches becomes gold.. at least it looks like that. Perfectionism in intuitive interfacing is doing the job.
3D display technology still looks clumsy. 3D holograms in a kind of plexiglass boxes. 3D TVs that work well as long as you don't change your viewing angle. 3D videos, displayed on a notebook screen, that still need the so-called 3D glasses. Yes, they are shipped in the box with the notebook.
Further, the Computex is business as usual. Halls filled with small OEM manufacturers. Taiwanese firms that claim that all their production is in Taiwan, not outsourced to mainland China "as there are quality problems in Chinese factories". A few firms are investing in their own brands and try to win the world market in the slipstream of Acer, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte.
Although the IT sector is still vibrant, the number of visitors is dwindling.
