DigitalLife 2005 Photo Coverage
New York
October 14 - 15, 2005
Let there be no doubt about it – DigitalLife is an end user show. The first day was Industry Day but the place was flooded with end users. This is the 18 – 30 year old crowd, mostly male, that loves games and gadgets. The show floor is only about 1/3 of the Jacob Javits Convention Center, thus relatively small. One has the impression that this is PC Expo in different clothing. Yes, Nokia and Verizon are here, which gives it a mobile and connectivity angle, but the vast majority of the floor is focused on PCs, media devices and game play including a tournament play area.
When it comes to gamers and the connected, this is a slice of New York. Just like a piece of pizza. But it is just that – not a full reflection of New York and the dimensions of society here.
