LG Booth Tour – Live from CTIA Wireless 2009 Las Vegas
The CTIA Wireless 2009 Las Vegas show isn’t what you’d call a booming success. Attendance is noticeably down and the general atmosphere is just a little muted this time around. The Las Vegas convention center showfloor is peppered with more small- to medium-sized booths than the big, marketing budget-blowing extravaganza that we’ve seen in shows…

Novatel bringing CDMA MiFi to Verizon as MiFi 2200
The Novatel MiFi Portable Intelligent HotSpot has been on our radar (and on our wishlist) since early 2009. We’re big fans of 3G routers around these parts, and Novatel’s completely wire-free MiFi 3G router takes top-billing as a portable hotspot. Sprint’s product roadmap has already confirmed the Novatel MiFi launching on Sprint’s CDMA network by…
