Hallo und Grüße aus Berlin! That's German for "we're totally hyper excited to be in Berlin right now in this very moment"! Yeah, seriosuly, we have just arrived here in the lovely German capital where the annual Internationale Funkausstellung expo, or IFA for short, will take place from September 6 through September 11.
What's so special about it, you ask? Well, IFA is among the biggest technology shows of the year so both major and minor manufacturers go there to show off their latest products. Smartphones, tablets, and everything in between will be on display as well. Here is where we'll get to see the Samsung Galaxy Note III in person and take it for a spin around the block. The long-rumored Sony Xperia Z1, aka "Honami", is also expected to make an appearance so we won't miss our chance to give it a go. And these are just a couple of the many cool smartphones and tablets coming to IFA 2013.
But even though IFA 2013 will officially open its doors to the general public on September 6, as we mentioned above, the fun is going to start a few days earlier. In fact, we are expecting several very exciting announcements to be made as soon as tomorrow, September 4. Moreover, we've already been given the chance to go up close and personal with a number of gadgets, so keep an eye out for our hands-ons and demonstrations as they will be up before you know it.
