What's hot and what's not at Gitex? Here's what people told Gulf News.

This is my first time to participate in Gitex and I am very excited because there are a lot of products I am interested in, like Nokia and Samsung. I work in our Gitex station from 10am to 6pm, but yesterday I spent my break to look around for gadgets. I really like the iPod and I think I will buy one later. Katrina Kurbatova from Russia
Product endorser

I have been coming to Gitex since it started. I'm here to look for the latest in digital technology--something that can be useful to my company. I have just arrived here so I haven't yet had a closer look around. Is this year's Gitex good or bad? It's too early to tell, but I can say the crowd is somewhat thin this year.
Abdulnabi Kal Awadh from Bahrain
Manager

I'm here mainly for work to bring products for our partners. Later, I will look around for gadgets that my husband
wanted me to look for like a new digital camera, MP3 player, or basically "boys' toys". Nothing for me. I came here to learn about new products.
Gloria Anampiu from Kenya
Marketing manager

This is my eighth time at Gitex. I can see this year's Gitex exhibit is well organised inside. Outside, parking is still a problem. I've seen people waiting in queues in their car just to find a parking space. But other than that, I can say this year's Gitex is smooth, but definitely not as busy as last year's. I'm here to look for the latest plasma TVs, and multimedia and telecom products.
Salman Al Ghatam from Bahrain
Marketing manager

This is my first time at Gitex and I think it is a wonderful exposure for me. The people I've met have been nice.
After work, I've had a look at some tech gadgets but nothing has caught my attention yet.
