CTIA 2008: Sept 10-12, San Francisco
Friday, September 12th, 2008Another show has come and gone - take a look at the Cnet slide show . Many companies milling about with all sorts of mobile apps and even cooler names. Again this year the major handset vendors tried to outdo each other. Samsung’s Instinct captured a lot of attention. Of course, we introduced the first WiFi & SMS Emergency Alerting solution in partnership with Meru Networks. This is useful for broadcasting an amber alert with a picture of the child at a mall or anywhere there is a hot spot. It was great to get the ‘Wow’ reaction from people who thought it only possible to alert over SMS! Fun moments at the show also included the Motorola Star Wars Storm Troopers. We also gave away a couple of 3G iPhones and got a frenzy around the booth. ….Sue Abu-Hakima
