IFA Berlin: yeah, we're here

Come now, you didn't think we'd let something like IFA pass by without shipping a few editors off to Berlin did you? We're on the ground and taking names in the best ninja gear we could sew with $5 worth of felt and tin foil. But hey, it's not the costume that keeps you coming back, it's the content. So stay tuned.

Engadget, be careful tax rates in Europe are enormous, but hopefully you just declared the editors as a gift, when you shipped them? Anyway I'm looking forward to another (but sure awesome) event. Thank you (:

They should just bring back the World's Fair. I need more over-priced collectible posters in my apartment.

@absinthe

[boe Posted Aug 27th 2008 3:16PM]

Wish I was there. I'll be going to CES in January. The only things I'd really like to know -

Are there any new Plasma, LCD or other flat panel TVs that are bigger than 75"

Are there any new computer screens (not TVs) that are bigger than 30"

Dear Thomas and other Engadgeteers,

I live here in Berlin (for about 2 years now) and will (of course) also be going to IFA. I would like to know if you are planning a meet-up somewhere in town, or if you guys would be interested to get a free tour around Berlin. It would be the least I can offer after all these years of Engadget in my life.
Please drop me a mail at: sperotto gmail.com
Take care,

Rafael
