The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) will hold it’s semi-annual trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. This event will focus mainly on the hardware aspects i.e. handsets & devices. However, wireless application developers & service providers should be present as well.

The GSM Association kicks off the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. As always, several new devices are expected & one should also expect a bevvy of mobile services/applications being debuted to the audience. It also serves as the stage for Mobile Monday’s Peer Awards to be held on Feb 16th. A list of the finalists can be found at their site. I’ll be covering the show through indirect media outlets & providing my perspective.
