Well, CTIA 2008 has come and gone, and overall we were pleased with the results. There wasn’t a flood of new handset announcements, but we didn’t really expect one, either. Truth be told, the industry seems to be moving away from its past tendancy to save up new devices so that they can all be unleashed at one time at a big trade show. Seems it just doesn’t make sense for them to do that these days. Manufacturers would rather announce devices when they are ready, and not have their news lost in the sea of press releases that surrounds shows like CES and CeBIT.
But even with that change, CTIA still provided a number of interesting stories. We were very pleasantly surprised by AT&T’s announcement that it will be installing kiosks powered by Microsoft’s Surface technology at 12 of its retail stores. There were a number of good handset announcements, too, like Motorola’s Z9 and Samsung’s touchy-feely M800 Instinct for Sprint.
For me personally, I was really pleased to see Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 OS finally get released. It doesn’t offer anything in terms of major upgrades, but rather a series of UI and usability enhancements that make the device friendlier to use - especially for Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen) devices.
In other news, we have stopped accepting applications for our new tech/gadget blog, and have soft launched two new blog sites: iPhone Investigator and Android Authority. Like the new upcoming site, these two sites are less formal than MobileBurn.com and are, most definitely, blogs in the normal sense. You’ll find all sorts of Apple iPhone and Android related topics covered there that you wouldn’t expect to find here on MB. Check them out, and feel free to send any tips for new apps or other developments related to the iPhone or Android to Sally@iPhoneInvestigator.com (that address works for both sites).
