  • Story Text: Thousands of visitors have flocked to the second day
    of the world's largest computer fair.

    The CeBIT annual fair in Hannover, northern Germany,
    traditionally features the latest technological gimmicks
    invented around the world.

    Sharp's so called "movie player" looks like a video
    version of the Walkman introduced by Sony more than a decade
    ago.

    "(The movie player) combines the business tool and the
    entertainment tool in one instrument," said Martin Beckmann of
    Sharp Germany.

    The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is able to retrieve
    video on its mobile "Zaurus" model at 30 frames a second and
    the system will be in direct competition with MPEG compression
    technology.

    'Sniffman' by German company Ruetz Technologies is one
    such invention. It allows its owners to breathe in up to 64
    different odours which correspond to moving pictures on the
    Internet.

    Since 'Sniffman' is worn around its owner's neck the
    odours are always close to the nose.
