Every year the IT world flocks to Hanover for CeBIT, the world's largest computer show, where resellers, developers, manufacturers and component suppliers meet up to demonstrate the 'next big thing' in the world of technology.

This is the show that has a new product for pretty much everyone: the latest PCs, phones and PDAs will be on display, as well as more esoteric technology from wireless fountain pens to paper computers.

All the latest IT and business strategies are showcased at the exhibition, and vnunet.com will be talking to the insiders about where the industry is going.

Our Special Report rounds up all the main news from the event, and offers up-to-the-minute analysis of the latest trends.
