3G Lab at the 3GSM Conference, Cannes, France - 17th February 2003

3G Lab are having something of a presence at the annual 3GSM shindig in Cannes. As well as a stand, the company has also chartered a yacht - the Jacaranda Bleu - for schmoozing. Nosher is not so much there for the conference, as to attend HP's "Beach Bazaar" code camp at the nearby Capron College, so instead of ligging it up on a luxury boat for the week Nosher is sleeping on a gymnasium floor with a bunch of other nerds whilst writing a bit of code and generally hanging out. There is, of course, the occasional chance to go down to the exhibition and see what the 3G Lab gang are up to.
