5 is back from its little break and this week we have some images from Computex 2009 held at the Nangang Exhibition Center, Taipei, Taiwan.
Computex 2009 began Tuesday 2nd June and will run until the 6th. Held annually in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China), it is one of the largest computer and technology expos in the world. Key exhibitors include Microsoft, AMD, Intel, Hitachi, Asus and SanDisk. A total of 1,712 exhibitors will attend the show, down 1% on 2008 amidst the continued global economic crises. Ulra-thin notebook and netbooks, solid state storage devices and touch screen technology are key in this years exhibition, as well as new processors and chipsets from Intel and AMD.
I was out there on Tuesday meeting with the guys from First Zoom. Be sure to check out their video reports as well.

Microsoft had a large presence at the show, with its announcement that Windows 7 will begin shipping on October 22.
AMD, celebrating its 40th year, with its Fusion project featuring heavily and a display of ultra-thin notebooks.
Intel likewise focused strongly of mobility and portability with new ultra-low voltage processors designed for netbooks and ultra-thin notebooks.
Local giant Asus, one of the originators of the netbook with its Eee PC, showcased their latest offerings, including moves into touch screen technology.
Computex will run until Saturday. If you’re in Taipei and interested in new developments in info-tech, it’s worth getting out there before it closes.
Stay tuned for a new photography tutorial next Monday with tips for successful night photography. Don’t forget to share this with your friends and social media networks.
