세계최대의 모바일전시회 스페인 바로셀로나에서 25일부터 4일간 열리고 있습니다. 이번 전시회에서 개인적으로 새로운 운영체제인 Firefox os 가 기대가 되며 아래 내용은 참고 바랍니다.
Acer at MWC
Acer hasn't exactly blown us away at this year's MWC, but we rather like its Liquid Z2 handset.
As James Rivington writes in our Hands on: Acer Liquid Z2 review this phone is primarily designed as a first baby step into the world of the smartphone. As such, it comes with some helpful features to make the transition as painless as possible. "We give it a tentative thumbs up," he says (tentatively).
Asus at MWC 2013
Those hybrid-obsessed folk at Asus have turned up at MWC with another tablet that's also a phone and now a phone that's also a tablet.
One of these devices is the Asus Padfone Infinity and the other is the Asus Fonepad. Padfone. Fonepad. Fadphone. Where were we?
We now hear that Asus is now working on a 27-inch gaming monitor that you can hold to your ear to make calls, which will be marketed as the Asus Phonitor.
Ford at MWC 2013
Ford rolled up at MWC to announce that Spotify is coming to the car dashboard. It'll work with Ford Sync allowing you to play music wirelessly through your car's stereo system and control it via voice commands.
Spotify for Ford Sync has been designed to integrate the two services as seamlessly as possible. So there is no separate app, and nothing you need to install on your phone other than the regular Spotify Mobile app.

HP at MWC 2013
HP seems to be over the whole TouchPad, webOS pain now and it's instead joined the Android gang, bringing the Slate 7 Android Jelly Bean-powered budget tablet to the party.
Set for an April release, the 7-inch tab features a 1.6GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, a slightly low-resolution 1024 x 600 screen, 1GB RAM and 8GB of built-in storage.
Huawei at MWC 2013
Huawei isn't messing around - it's rocked up with what's apparently the world's fastest smartphone, the Ascend P2. It's the first smartphone to feature LTE CAT 4, which Hauwei claims will allow the Ascend P2 to deliver some blistering web browsing speeds, faster than the CAT 3 toting Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE and iPhone 5.
Breaking into the smartphone market hasn't been easy, admitted Huawei, saying "We're an ambitious young brand which plans to be one of the top 100 companies in the world in the coming years."
Lenovo at MWC 2013
Lenovo continues with its product naming convention of stringing together some random numbers and letters, with three new tablets on show at MWC.
There's the top-end IdeaTab S6000, the mid-range A3000 and, at the bottom of the spec pile, the A1000. As Kate Solomon points out, they're fairly uninspiring but probably fine.
LG at MWC 2013
Bizarrely, LG didn't bring any phones to MWC but instead used the venue to launch a range of washing machines.
Actually, that's a lie. What it did bring was the LG Optimus L3 2, the successor to the original Optimus L3 which launched at MWC last year.
Nokia at MWC 2013
Nokia brought a couple of cheap and cheerful phones to Barcelona, namely the 105 and 301, which feature, well, not much really. The 105 can be picked up for about the same price as a takeaway pizza and will apparently last a month on one charge, while the Nokia 301 builds on the 105's lowly specs by upping the screen size to 2.4-inches and chucking in a 3.2MP camera.
While we initially thought these handsets would be for emerging markets only, it turns out that Nokia also hopes you'll want one as a back-up phone. Good luck with that, Nokia!
Motorola at MWC 2013
The Motorola Razr HD came out in the US at the end of last year (where it was known as the Droid Razr HD) and now it's apparently headed to the UK. It's rather late to the party and as such the specs aren't anything to write home about but it's a capable handset which promises a decent battery life.
Tempted? Then hit our Hands on: Motorola Razr HD review for our early verdict.
Samsung at MWC 2013
Samsung announced the long-rumoured Galaxy Note 8 tablet on Sunday ahead of the show's opening after it was photographed on the Samsung stand.
While we got some specs (8-inch 1280 x 800 Super Clear LCD display, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, 1.6GHz ARM-quad-core processor and 2GB RAM) Samsung has so far neglected to name a price. We do know that the release date has been set for Q2 2013, though.
Sony at MWC 2013
We were impressed with the Sony Xperia Z phone when we recently reviewed it and so we were delighted to see Sony break out the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, a 10.1-inch device which is very capable of taking on the likes of the iPad and Galaxy Tabs on both specs and price.
Mozilla at MWC 2013
Mozilla has given a preview of the first devices to run its HTML5-based Firefox OS. The phones shown include the ZTE Open and the Alcatel OneTouch Fire, both powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. LG and Huawei handsets will follow.
Designed for developing markets, the first Firefox OS devices will be available to consumers in Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, Mexico, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Venezuela.
