Previously known as Makcik PC and now called Jenii or Dollah made its debut at Telekom Malaysia’s booth. Meant to bridge the gap between the PC literate and illiterate, it uses touch screen as the main UI while giving you an option to hook on to a keyboard. Able to run on both Microsoft Windows XP and a customized OS (I guess is Linux)

WiMAX seems to be the buzz nowadays and Packet 1 Solutions is showcasing some of their WiMAX products. P1 also operating the free WiFi service for the city of Kuala Lumpur.

At least the one thing that every exhibitors look forward to is for Malaysia’s Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi to visit them.

On the Day 1 itself, we setup our booth as early as 7.30am, Pico is still doing some paint job and cleaning up the are until 10.00am. Unlucky me, my suit kena some paint. Got to send to the dobi and hopefully they can fix things up for me.

So here are some photos I manage to snap on Pak Lah.
