Mobile World Congress 2009 News
Mobile World Congress is always a showcase for new devices and Samsung has its massive booth devoted to a variety of products. It also rented another neat tent to show off the newly-announced Galaxy Note 10.1, so go on a tour with us. As we’ve seen before, Samsung had artists drawing pictures of people using…
Sierra Wireless announced that its USB 598 modem, which we’ve already seen being offered through Sprint, is now compatible with the Verizon Wireless network. This, however, doesn’t mean you can grab the device on a contract. Rather, Sierra only wanted to say that you can buy the modem and separately pay for Verizon’s mobile broadband…
Here’s one more news from the Mobile World Congress we’ve missed. It’s from Discretix, the good folks who sponsored my first trip to the event back in 2006.

Yet another gem found whilst cruising through my photos of Mobile World Congress was this clip showing Alcatel-Lucent’s Enhanced Reality, which is still in its early stages. By initiating a video call through the service, video content can be superimposed onto real-world objects viewed through your phone’s camera. Two U.S. carriers are sniffing around the…
While combing through my photos from Mobile World Congress, I stumbled on one little gem that had managed to slip through the flurry of press releases and launch events. These HF-310 Speakerphones were looking a little lonely at the Nokia booth when everyone was oogling the N97 not far away, but they were pretty impressive.…
Nervous exhaustion, shmervous exhaustion. Here’s the year’s busiest week of mobile news. Mobile World Congress has come and gone, in case you haven’t noticed our live-from-Barcelona coverage, and it’s time to rein it all in and figure out what actually happened.
