as if a way to punctuate the fact that Aoife is coming to a close the Berlin son has moved away and the clouds have moved into its place I know that sounds really corny but that is truly how i feel about leaving Aoife this is my first Aoife and nostalgically this is going to be a big moment for me to remember because the fact that I covered Aoife means that I'm nearing my first year as a tech reporter tech journalist whatever you want to call it a youtuber a tech youtuber so Eva marks a very important time for me because now we have CES and that's pretty much when I started last year I say yes as far as the convention actually goes there is a lot to love about Aoife in Berlin the thing is you have to remember that this is not just a mobile conference while mobile does have a very big focus here at Aoife it's not the only thing that you'll see you'll see everything from home appliances two ovens two vacuums and robotic vacuums and stuff like that the messe itself actually is one of the biggest venues that I've ever been to and as far as a tech show goes it's one of the hardest to navigate actually at CES you have just a few huge buildings and you just have to weave your way around to find the actual spot of the thing you're trying to report on but here some vendors have their own huge room and then there are a bunch of other buildings there are upwards of twenty eight buildings here and all of them have a different function and the problem is everything is listed like 6624 the second floor 634 the third floor and then they're just arrow is pointing everywhere you don't necessarily know where you have to go until you actually sort of get halfway there and then you start to see sort of the light at the end of the tunnel so the meso is definitely one of the toughest then used to cover because there's so much walking and you could get lost really easily but in this last day or two that i was here at Aoife i think i got the hang of it finally so things went a little bit smoother this time around and of course we have to talk about the Galaxy Note 3 it's the biggest release obviously and everyone's going to be talking about it for weeks to come until it finally comes out and gets into people's hands but as far as the galaxy note 3 is concerned I actually really love most about it what I love most about it is that back that new material that they're using yes they keep saying that it's pretty much like leather but it really isn't it's textured plastic don't get fooled other than that it's great to see LG coming back into the tablet game and that's super great the LG G pad it's it's a good device and it kind of takes the best of all the worlds that we all want from our devices the plastic material the aluminum material all put together you got the plastic front in the aluminum back after that of course like I called it at mwc this pass februari Sony is going to take my heart every time I go to a show and this is because they have great design on top of great features on phones that honestly have a bit of a nostalgic factor because Sony is a company that we've all grown up with and we just for me I want to see them succeed at least in in a number of different ways with that in mind the oh Namie phone or now the Xperia z1 is a great device it is a lot like the Xperia Z so you might need to take that into account but other than that it's it's it's a greatly designed phone this xperia z design was still very well received and it comes with a lot of great features especially that 20 that 21 ish megapixel camera the g lens oh man oh man you want to know a story ok my favorite moment from this entire trip hands down has got to be from my second night so that morning Bogdan had left and I was taking care of all of the coverage at Eva pretty much by myself and I ended up hanging out at the Intel block out which is honestly the safe haven I can't thank the guys at mobile geeks and Intel for making for allowing us to be there and for just just for the existence of that it was great I would've known about it if it wasn't for our friends over at mobile geeks but anyway so we're over there and I'm taking care of all of my stuff and I'm trying to give videos on i ended up on a live stream so that's amazing hopefully we'll be able to see the footage of that later on and i even did a video with the grit ashley Esqueda from TechnoBuffalo so that was that was wonderful as well but at the end of the day I ended up going with mobile geeks with Nicole and Sasha Pallenberg of mobile geeks to a party essentially when you come to events like this you pretty much have to find as much free food as you possibly can just to keep things as cheap as possible because the taxi fare alone to and from your hotel to the venue can really make you broke but anyway I ended up going to this party and this was the day that I wore my android authority shirt and I used I warrant for this for the live stream but then when I found what I found out was we were going to a Microsoft party so it was a it was a little it was a little pork arias to be to say the least I wouldn't have thought it was that bad if I didn't walk into the restaurant that Microsoft's having the party and I didn't hear the person who was giving a speech for whatever reason say Android says they have a lot of updates all the time but Windows Phone updates are more substantial when I heard that I went plaster white and I was super scared about being like having android on my chest while sitting there luckily for me I put an extra shirt inside of my bag a button up shirt and I kind of mosey outside I put my stuff down and I put my I start putting my shirt on and I like start buttoning it up and the culture I figure out where I am it looks outside and as I came in here and I'm like wait so Sasha sees me and I'm like I'm trying to cover my android or your shirt and he just starts busting up yes so funny just that the comedy of this entire situation that I had to cover up my android or t-shirt because i was super afraid that I was gonna get the crap beat out yeah I don't Microsoft show Microsoft party so as you can see it is literally the end of the day for me there's one more day of evil laughs but i've called it a wrap today the sun is starting to go down and we obviously have the clouds in the sky covering everything up I just wanted to be here and give all of you a huge thanks for for watching all of our coverage for being there right there with us at Aoife I tried my best to give you a glimpse into what the experience of Aoife is like in a few videos and I really hope that you got a lot out of our coverage and I cannot even begin to give you my most sincere asst thanks for being there with us but as always thank you very much as Josh Berg are from android authority thank you very much for watching I can't even say it enough take care everybody and we'll see you at CES
