CeBIT warming up - but slowly
Today's the first day proper of the CeBIT tech trade event in Hanover, Germany, and it's been a slow but optimistic start on the show floors. Visitor numbers are predicted to be slightly down this year as the event organisers attempt to concentrate on a set of specific subject areas. It's not heaving - despite the unseasonably warm weather - so anyone in the vicinity is likely to be able to command some lengthy attention from most of the exhibitors.
I've just spent a while with BlackBerry maker Research in Motion - where its application partners have incurred more than a passing interest. I've interviewed Charmaine Eggberry, vice president of RIM for Europe - and you'll see the interview posted on ZDNet UK shortly.
