It’s time for another podcast (25 min) with Matthew Bennett:
- Audio version
- Video version

This week we discussed the trip to CTIA, including the Palm Pre walkthrough, the Nokia N97 demo, the Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD), the Nokia N86, the interview with David Wood, plus a few other things (such as my HTC Touch Pro review unit)…

If things don’t make sense at one point (around 3:56), it’s because I ended up editing out a short section where the mic stopped working!

CTIA: Interview with David Wood (Symbian)

Here’s a very informative 15-minute video interview with David Wood from day 1 at CTIA. Matt and I asked him about current and upcoming Symbian Foundation operating systems, user interfaces, and devices.

Enjoy :)

CTIA: Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD) hands on

During CTIA I visited the Symbian and Samsung booths and played with the Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD)… Here are my pictures!

CTIA: Nokia N86 8MP hands on

Amongst the plethora of devices on display at CTIA was the Nokia N86 8MP, which is basically an N85 with an 8 megapixel camera, 8 GB of built-in flash (in addition to micro-SDHC support), a kickstand, and a glass screen cover… Take a look at my pictures!

CTIA: Palm Pre walkthrough

During CTIA I visited the Sprint VIP lounge and I recorded this exclusive 45-minute video walkthrough of the Palm Pre! I also snapped a bunch of pictures…

CTIA: Nokia N97 demo

While I was busy drooling all over documenting the Nokia booth at CTIA, I was introduced to Julien Fourgeaud of Nokia, who was kind enough to let me play with an über sexy white Nokia N97.

The outcome: this exclusive 15-minute video demo and a lovely picture :)

Conference time

It’s conference time.

This week I’ll be at GDC here in San Francisco, and in about 10 days I’m going to CTIA in Las Vegas with my podcasting partner extraordinaire, Matthew Bennett, who recently launched a new blog, US Mobile Industry…

Since I’m actually working at GDC this year (rather than just attending), I’ll be quite busy, but I’m planning to hang out with Ewan Spence from All About Symbian at some point, so stay tuned!

As for CTIA, Matt and I are lining up lots of videos coverage and interviews, and I’m looking forward to getting my hands on some hot devices and taking lots of pictures. We have press passes, so watch out :)

As usual, keep an eye on my Twitter, my Flickr, and my Qik, and come back often.
