Another Mobile World Congress is behind us, and as they urge us to clear out the media center, which has been a safe haven for journalists desperate for a stable Internet connection (the Wi-Fi was spotty and slow throughout the event), we’re reminiscing about the things we’ve seen this year.
Besides the hundreds of mobile startups, app developers, operators and other companies of all sizes trying to find their place under the mobile sun, this MWC has been mostly about two things: tablets and Android.
Of course, MeeGo, WebOS, Windows Phone 7 and other mobile platforms (besides Apple’s iOS, since Apple chooses to skip events such as the MWC) were all present at the fair. But the bulk of the new smartphones and tablets we’ve seen were running some flavor of Android.
Samsung, LG and HTC have had a particularly strong offering this year when it comes to smartphones. On the tablet front, nearly every company tried their hand at find ing the perfect form factor and Android flavor that should power the “iPad killers” of 2011.
Finally, in the gallery below, you can catch a glimpse of the atmosphere at this year’s MWC, including the “secret” Android village, the holster police who gave out citations to everyone with more than two cellphones and a couple of inevitable booth babes. Meanwhile, we’re off for some tapas!
