SINGAPORE: The last mega IT fair of the year, SITEX, is estimated to have attracted 800,000 visitors over its four-day run.

Organisers say they expect to rake in some 40 to 45 million dollars at the end of the fair on Sunday.

Some of the eye-catching items at the fair included a robot that dances to "Gangnam style" and a "Tablet-Man" that collects wishes.

Also seen at the fair was a mobile phone that can be used as a hammer and submerged in water.

Four mega IT fairs have been held this year.

In total, the fairs are estimated to have generated visitorship of 3.25 million people and spending of S$247 million.

For the first time, SITEX hosted a tournament featuring 64 of the world's best gamers.

The gamers competed in the popular online games League of Legends and StarCraft II.

"This is something (that is the) first in Southeast Asia, and we are happy to host it and we want to promote this for future events as well," said Henry Chua, projects manager at Singex Exhibition Ventures. "Definitely, gaming is a growing trend right now."

Sitex fair rakes in record sales

DESPITE the economic slowdown, the Sitex information-technology fair saw a record of more than 800,000 visitors - an increase of 50,000 from last year.

Estimated sales revenue for the four-day event - which began last Thursday and ended yesterday - were also up $5 million from last year's $40 million, hitting record-breaking status.

Mr Edwin Low, chief executive officer of Singapore Expo, which manages the 20-year-old event, said that there was strong demand for laptops and desktops, followed by digital cameras and MP3 players.

Toshiba Singapore's sales rose by 30 per cent from last year. Suzuki Technology sold 800 laptops this year, compared with last year's sales of 100 units .Mr Low added that sales may be good as -consumers are becoming more prudent by buying more affordable electronic goods in place of bigger-ticket items such as properties and cars.

Asus Technology and Suzuki Technology allowed the trade-in of old goods for discounts on new gear.

Purchaser Susan Koo (pictured) traded in an old notebook, getting a new Suzuki notebook at $1,428 - $60 off its retail price.

As the market is bad, buying a new notebook at a lower price is even more worth it," she said. Cash Converters, which was there to buy second-hand electronics for cash on the spot, saw the total value of second-hand electronic goods sold to them increase by 6 per cent from last year, when they purchased $30,000 worth of goods.

I intended to go Sitex yesterday evening to look at some networking products but I changed my mind due to some personal reasons.

Maybe I can go later or Sunday! =)
