Early in the morning, it was time for me to go to hang around in the Hall 3, a hall in which manufacturers like Samsung, LG or Nokia have great presence. You may also find mobile actors like IBM, or T-mobile, or others that you won't necessary think about, like Ford.

The first one when you go down to that hall is Samsung, you really can't miss it, it's a really huge booth !
To deal with the desappointment generated by the non-official release of the Galaxy S4 (and yes it was really disappointing for us), Samsung puts a strong focus on their new tablet :  the Galaxy Note 8.0, presented at the MWC.

The other highlight by Samsung was the Samsung Home Sync, a box that allows to share content between all Samsung devices authorized in the area. 

Not so much devices news, this year is the year of Cloud ! It is the master key !

Today I left the GoodBarber booth to visit others halls of the MWC. It's so large... Just spent 2 hours to visit 1 and a half hall !
What did I see? Mobile phones (of course), tablets, TVs, presentations, docking stations, beautiful hostesses, things I don't care, and many other things...
Oh... I also finally saw a 3D printer in the Nokia booth used to make phone covers. Great.
At the end I took a look at the Sony booth. It was my favorite one (I always had a soft spot for this brand...).
Stop speaking. Let's show the photos.

Our Interview at MWC 2013.

Very busy day 2 at Mobile World Congress. Day 2 and day 3 are said to be the most intense of the event ... and, well, this is true.

We met a lot of people today : VCs, potential partners, complementary services and of course, leads :)

Not so much time to give you a feedback of what's hot in MWC2013, but we'll try tomorrow.

Here we are, the Mobile World Congress began this morning.

We met a lot of interesting people today!

The team who took the boat yesterday evening from Ajaccio arrived in the late afternoon due to difficult weather conditions. But everyone is here now, and really excited!

Tomorrow, we'll take a little more time to make an entire tour of the event, and prepare more focused blog posts. We'll focus on monetization, as we met a lot of ad networks at MWC, and on new devices.

We'll try to take some more general pictures of the entire event.

To follow us out of this blog, you can find us on Flickr, on Instagram (@goodbarber), on Twitter (@goodbarber) and on our Facebook  page :) 

See you tomorrow !
