After 3 days in San Diego, I am getting ready to head back home, so here is a recap of everything from the last few days. My plan of attack for posting was simple
- send in photos to my blog from my Verizon Blackberry 8330 Curve and
AT&T Apple iPhone 3GS, as well as post longer articles of multi-photo
composition using my Sony Cybershot, Mac Book Pro, and Sprint EVDO
card. The nice thing about this approach was the ability to send in
photos on the fly as I saw interesting things, but then provide
additional commentary and higher-res shots as well.
Wednesday - Day 1
Wednesday morning started out like each morning of the show, with a
keynote address for some of the industry leaders speaking about the
state of wireless, and their organization. I posted these photos from
the keynote:

Then I was off to hit the show floor, where I was able to snap some shots and post this article:

To cap off the day, I attended the Mobile Focus event presented by
Pepcom where I had some additional time with many of the great devices
that are out there. Manufacturers included RIM, Nokia, HTC and
Motorola. Here are the posts that I created from the event:

Thursday - Day 2
Thursday started out with a keynote consisting of a panel discussion with the Co-Founder and CEO of Qualcomm, as well as the CTO of AT&T. Here was the
post from the keynote:
Day 2 Keynote
Thursday afternoon, I sat down to record a special podcast with
Dieter Bohn from
Smartphone Experts and
Kevin Michaluk from
Crackberry. We covered the latest from Blackberry,
Nokia, Windows Mobile and Android as well as some great commentary
about the main themes of the convention. The show can be downloaded directly here:

This was another great experience, and I am very happy to have been able to attend the show again this year. There really is nothing like a cellular trade show for a Cell Phone Junkie.
