Cebit opens to mobile music tune

The BBC gives us an inside look into CeBIT, the world's largest hi-tech fair, opening its door in Hanover today, for a look at the latest gadgets for homes and businesses.

With more than 6,000 exhibitors registered, around 500,000 visitors are expected to pass through the doors.

What to expect:

-- Camera phones are likely to prove an interesting battle ground at the show - The technology arms race is on in terms of megapixels with a fair amount of "bigger is better"

-- "At 3GSM in Cannes everyone went music mad and music is going to be a big theme for all the vendors at Cebit," said Mr Wood.

-- Cebit could become the battleground for the two competing methods for getting TV on to mobiles, and is also likely to provide a stage for a technology slated to compete with 3G.

-- HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) has been described as "3G on steroids" and could offer consumers much faster download times.

-- Cebit is used by many to unveil cutting edge products and in the mobile sphere this is likely to mean a lot of bright, colourful handsets as fashion continues to compete with technology when it comes to the device everyone has in their pockets.

-- Rainbow-coloured phones, influenced by handsets from Japan, are just one example of how Asian companies will stamp their mark on this year's show, at which they will have their biggest ever presence.
