Genesi: CeBIT-Report 2003
From Ron van Herk und Martin Heine

The CeBIT is over, eight days of hard work are behind us. Genesi´s first CeBIT attendance has been very successful. We were able to have many interesting talks, we had a lot of interested visitors and started some very promising business deals.

We cannot got into detail of every single topic and of course there are some (indeed not too few) things which we cannot talk about in public. But some things we can say right now:

_Kato Development_

Kato has developed sound card drivers for more then ten different audio chip sets. These include the AC97 codec, several Creative sound cards, but also some different Terratec models. We are to assist Kato in any possible kind to port their drivers to the Pegasos/MorphOS system, so Pegasos users will have a broad choice af additional sound cards.

_Mediapoint_

We hired the main programmer of Mediapoint. He started, done as a fulltime job, already to finish the next version of this package. It´s aimes to do a first release still this summer. Our main focus is the professional market but also current users of the stand alone version will be an upgrade offered to benefit from the new features as well. Futhermore the same programmer will create a MorphOS version of Inga the graphic adventure creator. With this it becomes possible for developers to create such graphic adventures or edutainment software for our settop box.

_Russia_

Genesi´s Russian distributor visited us at the fair. Currently the Russian localization of MorphOS is under development.

_Merchandise_

Genesi thinks about the production of several MorphOS mechandise goodies and to offer it via local dealers. We have some ideas for that ourself by now but welcome every suggestion for that as well.

_3sat_

As most will have heard and some have seen already there has been a short report about the Pegasos/MorphOS within the TV show "neues" of 3sat. Even it has not been to extensive it has been quite nice and we got some several positive feedback about it.

Okay, that´s all for the moment - more news will follow when we can put them to public. Our best greetings and regards from the CeBIT we are leaving from here now!

Ron, Martin, André und Ulrich (ps) (Translation: ub)
