It says here in the press release of Saturday that Gitex Shopper is really the place to be for anyone looking to buy any and all things digital during the Oct.8-15 run at Dubai Airport Expo.
Okay, I’ll buy that given the swarms of young tech savvy gadget freaks I watched roaming the three halls of the event looking for deals of the century.
There are reportedly as many as 25,000 gadgets of all size and budget on offer by 160 exhibitors.
Sure there are lots of latops, tvs, cameras, but for the person who has everything, there are a lot of other really off-the-wall electronic items here for the taking.
At the Tarsam Image display is one very cool exhibit where I found a nifty retro mini juke box with an iPod dock on the top or alternatively has a utilities jack in the rear. Neon lights flash away and it also takes CDs. Check it out, it sells for only Dh650.
Not far away, Al Masharji trading was busy hawking Ajai bladeless air fans that use air vents, rather than a propeller-like device to push wind. One even came in the shape of a heart. Costs ranged from Dh160 to Dh260.
If you like to stand out in a crowd, check out the laptop skins stand where Shop & More General Trading Co. All kinds of graphics in acrylic and glitter materials are on sale from Dh30-Dh60 and materials can be used on standard laptops as well as tablets such as the iPad.
