Just a quick show this week live from the floor of CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment 2009, where we're refreshingly seeing tons of Android gear; what we're not seeing a whole lot of is co-host Sean Cooper who's on vacation this week, so Chris holds it down with a half-hour of rambling to himself. Enjoy!

Nokia came flying out of the gate this week with a seemingly endless torrent of news, and we've gone ahead and wrapped it all up into a neat little package here on this week's show.

Engadget Mobile Podcast 015 - 04.04.2009: CTIA Edition, Part 2

by Trent Wolbe posted Apr 4th 2009 at 4:57PM Featured Story


The week's done, the goods have been covered, so we recorded a 'cast for you to round out the show. Of course, this was done on Friday morning so we likely missed a couple things, but we'll catch up on the next regularly scheduled podcast. If we sound tired and hoarse it's only because we ran into a little Samsung party with loud music, which of course forced us to yell and then quench sore throats with various sodas. Enjoy the show.
