Android and Win Mo 6.5 Are the Apparent Stars at CTIA as HTC, Samsung Handsets Debut
Good grief, more phone news than you can shake a stick at this week. It’s getting so a GPS gizmo blogger can’t even get out and get a little testing and geocaching done, but such is life when a CTIA tradeshow is going on. This isn’t the wireless juggernaut CTIA show — that’s in March — but a related tradeshow that prompts all sorts of mobile phone industry news as the U.S.-based wireless PR machines kick into high gear. New GPS-enabled phones are on the way from HTC and Samsung for Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mo and notably, all are either Android- or Windows Mobile-based. Win Mo 6.5 just rolled out, incidentally, and there’s even a Win Mo app store now — but Android seems to keep gaining traction, if these announcements are any indication.

The CTIA annual tradeshow is getting underway in Las Vegas this week — I would have liked to have been there to check out the new phones and gadgets in person, but since it coincided with our soft launch of this here revamped GPS Maniac, I’m at home manning the keyboard instead, up to my eyeballs in php, HTML, javascript, and CSS. But thanks to the magic of the Internet and the PR Machine, I’ve got the lowdown on new models from HTC and Samsung: the Snap, the successor to HTC’s popular Dash model, and the Samsung Instinct s30 from Sprint.
