A week from now at this time, my feet will be hitting the ground in Vegas again. We normally don’t cover the CTIA Wireless show since we’re still catching up from the CES rat-race. In fact, we’ve never gone to the show. James is going to man the site from Mobile Tech Manor while I make the trip this time around. Since I have yet to spend a honeymoon with my new wife, Barb is flying out to meet me on Friday, the day the show ends. We’ll spend the weekend there and fly home the following Monday, so I should be all rested up when I return here next Tuesday. Or maybe Wednesday, depending on the Tuesday’s weather: a warm, sunny day could mean one last vacation day on the local golf course! ;)
As usual, I’ll be traveling fairly light: a DLSR, the Kodak Zi6 for high-def video capture, my USB-727 EV-DO dongle and just one computer. Of course, the computer is what I’m debating the most in my head right now. Will it be a netbook or will it be the MacBook? The Mac’s horsepower is better suited for image and video editing, so I’m leaning in that direction at the moment. I’m getting around fairly well with the Nokia E63, so I may leave the iPhone at home as well. All in all, it should be a fun trip since I’ve never attended it in the past. And hey, look at that! There’s a shiny new “CTIA 2009″ category in the sidebar!
