A Preview of Things to Come


What comes after PC Show and IT Show? Comex of course! And it's nearly the time of the year again when the hottest products and tech bargains are amassed all under one roof. Heading into its 16th anniversary, this time round Comex promises to be even bigger and more comprehensive than ever before. Expected to occupy three floors of Suntec City Exhibition Center with a combined floor area of 300,000 square-feet, the claims certainly sound likely. However unlike previous shows, Comex is promising comfortable four-meter wide walkways throughout the show floor encompassing 780 vendors. That's definitely something we're keen to find out firsthand next week when we battle the crowds to bring you the actual coverage.

But well before you even set foot, www.hardwarezone.com is proud to bring you a preview of the latest gadgets and great offers that await you at Comex 2007. After several days of exchanges with many of the exhibitors, we bring you the first part of the preview. Enjoy!
