mobile tech overload in barcelona

grabbing a precious quiet moment at the mobile world congress in barcelona. it's been a guerilla assault on the industry's annual shindig - i arrive here at noon yesterday and am flying back to dublin in a few hours. lots of copy in friday's irish times on my impressions of the event but here's a few little teasers:

• team ireland has been in top form and all credit to enterprise ireland for organising the pavillion which not only showcases some of our brightest companies in the space but has great free coffee
• just getting to grips with the nokia n95 and really like it. thanks for nothing nokia for introducing the n96 and giving me phone envy again. 
• pat phelan, the consumate networker did a fine job putting on bash last night. venue felt a bit sterile at start but the event came together nicely.
• why can't we have more good value restaurants in dublin. top meal last night for two for €84.
