It’s going to be the biggest gadge-show of the year, and it’s taking place at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. What is it? Gadget Show Live, of course! IntoMobile is going to be attending what should be a festival of buttons, displays, and tech-funk, all housed in the massive warehouse-like space of the NEC. I’ve…
Palm shows of new WebOS applications for Palm Pre
Sprint and Palm didn’t exactly hit CTIA Wireless 2009 in full force. Neither company had any real booth presence at the wireless conference show in Las Vegas, but that didn’t stop them from showcasing some impressive new WebOS applications for the Palm Pre. We had already been given demonstrations of Sprint’s Sprint TV and NASCAR…

PCD TXT8030 is a low-end CDMA phone for frequent texters, music lovers
At the CTIA, PCD showed an interesting handset called TXT8030. What’s interesting about it is the bottom part of the device which rotates (similarly to the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic) — on one side there’s a full QWERTY keyboard, while the other one has music control keys coupled with big speakers. Moreover, we’re talking about a…
ZTE Booth Tour – Live from CTIA Wireless 2009 Las Vegas
They might get a bad rap for cheap phones, but ZTE is bigger than you think – number 6 worldwide, though you might not be too familiar with them since they only have three handsets in North America, and they’re on metroPCS. ZTE is working to crack the tough nut of the U.S. market after…
Sony Ericsson Booth Tour – Live from CTIA Wireless 2009
First off, the headline might be a little misleading. Sony Ericsson, for whatever reason, didn’t have an official exhibitor booth on the CTIA Wireless 2009 showfloor. The Japanese-Swedish phone maker has been going through a bit of a rough financial-patch recently. How that plays into the company’s decision to forgo any physical presence in the…

Research in Motion had their hands full at CTIA with the BlackBerry App World launch, which is ostensibly the biggest announcement of the show.
