Apple has shaken quite a bit up in the electronics industry in the past few years. Instead of being just as innovative as Apple, the other manufacturers are nearly falling over themselves to serve the Apple products. In this trend, a ton of iPod accessories are being offered by various different manufacturers, including JVC. At the JVC booth we saw several new iPod docks, including the JVC RA-P1 and RD-N1 multifunctional iPod and iPhone docks. The JVC P1 dock has a stylish design and its main function is a radio alarm clock with an integrated docking for the Apple iPhone 3G cell phone. This allows you to use your iPhone 3G as an alarm clock accessory.

Although Philips is a big electronics manufacturer, a large market share of the telecom market does not seem to be in the cards for this giant. Locally, different mobile phones appear here and there, often with little information about the phone specifications. Such as we came across the Philips Xenium X605 cell phone. And that is about all there can be said about it. Except that the Philips X605 touch-screen mobile phone is equipped with a 3.2 Megapixel digital camera, there is not much else worth mentioning. Where, when and if we will come across the Philips Xenium X605 cell phone in real life, is uncertain.
