The i-Buddy was featured at the Mega Show along with the i-Buddy Twins prototype. Union Creations had one of the busiest booths, with many curious consumers surrounding them. The i-Buddy sold to many consumers and wholesalers, while many were asking for the exclusive rights. The UK has already captured the rights in Europe while Canada and USA are still open. Word has it there are many trying to capture the exclusive rights for Canada and the USA.

Every October hordes of international buyers flock to Hong Kong to source from a wide range of top-notch yet competitively-priced products at the annual Mega Show Part 1 hosted by Kenfair International Limited.


This world-renowned mega sourcing extravaganza has become the most effective trading platform for Hong Kong & Asian manufacturers to meet with a bumper volume of international buyers. The numbers of visitors and exhibitors strike record high year by year.

In 2006, the combination of the full capacity of HKCEC and the newly-added Expo Drive Hall made the Mega Show Part 1 a super jumbo sourcing fair for toys, gifts, premium and household products ever-held in Hong Kong with 5,300 booths. The 4-day show attracted over 60,000 trade buyers. Exhibitors have benefited from the tremendous chance to reach their target buyers from all around the world and harvested lots of business deals and orders!

Exhibition booths of the 2007 Mega Show Part 1 have all been sold out. With over 3,500 exhibitors from Hong Kong, Asia and around the globe featuring their toys, gifts, premium and household products, this prestigious trading platform will again create abundant business opportunities no buyers can afford to miss this October!

 

 

This is a cool accessory for your MSN live messenger. It is physical emotions representative of your friends because it can detect/recognize the emoticons that sent from your friends that translate it into motion, color lighting and so on. i-Buddy can be programmed to recognize a particular friend account so that it will response to all message and status events sent from your friend.

i-Buddy is USB connectivity that plug in to your computer’s USB port, small in size and portable, so it does not matter where are you, because it can be carried around your office, home, or while traveling.

 

 

Sit i-Buddy on your monitor or desk and it will respond to incoming MSN messages in its own charming way. You can even program it to react to one specific account - ideal for that special someone. But here’s the clever bit: as well as alerting you to your contacts’ status, i-Buddy detects emotions (via emoticons) within messages and reacts accordingly.

For instance; if someone puts a heart emoticon in their message, i-Buddy’s head glows and it twists and flaps its wings. And if the blushing emoticon is detected, i-Buddy will glow red. Even cuter, a gleaming red heart in i-Buddy’s chest illuminates whenever a contact is online. Awww!

With i-Buddy mounted on your monitor you can stroll over to the water cooler without having to worry about missing a message from a special friend. Simply keep an eye on this angelic-looking thingamajig’s status and race back when it starts getting in a flap.

Ideal for MSN fans of all ages, i-Buddy brings the familiar yet mysterious Messenger figure to life like never before. We always thought it looked like a dumpy chess pawn with arms, but now we’ve seen it in the flesh (well, the plastic) it’s taken on a whole new persona. In fact, if you’re a fan of instant messaging, i-Buddy is a must-have accessory. So stop msn-ing about and get ordering!

The most innovative gadget has just entered 2008. The i-Buddy’s potential is ranking higher and higher. I love the way you can get it to represent your significant other. Especially because my significant other gets very irritated if I don’t make effort to keep in touch because of our busy work schedules.

What is an i-Buddy? Apart from looking cute i-buddy also has some clever bit of technology. i-Buddy is specially designed for Windows Live Messenger (MSN Messenger) users and is connected to your computer via USB cable. i-Buddy is also tiny enough to sit on top of your monitor (mounting clip provided). It is a physical representation of your buddy. You can program it to recognize a particular buddy account, and it will response to all messages and status events sent from your buddy.

The heart on the i-buddy glows when your buddy comes online. I-buddy also shakes its body when your buddy sends you a Nudge. It even gets emotional when your buddy sends you a smiley or an emoticon! i-Buddy features eight emotional motions, such as happy and angry, which is expressed by combinations of wings flapping, body twisting and multi-colored light flashing. You can also customize it to create your own emotional motions too.
