The 4^th Annual DigitalLife - September 27-30, 2007 @ Javits Center in New York City
Story by Sonny Davé

 New York – The Digital Life convention debuted in 2004. This was my first time at this convention. It was a lot smaller than I expected. This show was more of an introduction into the world of electronics and gaming industry.

Someone asked me a question at the show: If I can have any one thing from the show and price was no object, what would it be?

My answer: Right before you enter the show floor, there was a beautiful light blue Mustang convertible tricked out by Nokia. I want that! If you went to the show, you know what I mean.

Highlights from the Show:
