SITEX 2008 – Another IT show

One of the most anticipated IT shows of the year. With year end coming with festivities like Christmas and New Year, this is one of the most awaited Tech event.
Bargain hunters would have waited for this show to get some bargains on this show, expecting to save some cash and get some freebies in return.

Scheduled on:

When
: 27 November 2008 – 30 November 2008
Event type : IT & Electronics
Venue : EXPO Halls 5 & 6
Admission : Public – Free Admission
Event Schedules :Time: 11am to 9pm

What to expect.

1. Netbook/UMPC
The Netbook craze has caught on like wild fire. Almost everyone I know wants a hand in it. One of my friend has two of them, Asus and Acer.
You can expect Acer Aspire One and Asus EEE PC selling hot. Others like MSI Wind and Dell(model name) will be hot favourites too.

2. LCD TV
This has been on display for a long time. Usually there are some distibutors clearing stock or selling them at bargain price. You can find 32 inch TV for under S$800 plus freebies.
Ensure you are getting the Full HD version instead of any LCD TV with HD Ready sticker on it.

3. Memory Memory
Ok. Prices of SD Cards will be dirt cheap. The last show my colleague was able to get a 4GB SDHC card for S$10. Is that a bargain or what.
This time around maybe the 8GB version at a low-low price?
Before purchasing ensure your gadgets are able to support these high capacity SDHC cards.
Yes, you will be able to get other memory cards/sticks for a bargain too. One can never have enough memory.

My Thoughts

The economic problem is not going to stop bargain hunters who have been waiting for sometime now. With Christmas coming and New Year nearing, kids will expect some new gadgets and toy from their parents. Geeks will be looking for new toys.

But I have to warn you. Prices will in most cases be not much different than retail stores. It will be a case of more useless freebies. Just go over to Sim Lim Square and compare prices.

Me and my colleague were discussing about this show and he was saying that it was nothing like those shows in Taiwan and US. Computex Taipei showcases new and upcoming technologies and new innovations. Whereas here in Singapore SITEX(Singapore IT Exhibition) is basically to make sales.
