The 2010 International CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas was a fantastic networking event for Order Experts. It was full of surprises and major carrier announcements. As CTIA reports there are 285 million wireless connections and almost 5 billions text messages sent per day. That’s a lot of data and many of the clients we work with, such as Source Inc, located in Kansas City, are involved in creating and supporting that activity.

As Order Experts continues to grow we rely on events such as CTIA and The Channel Partners Conference to connect with our clients and seek out new tools for developing our business. This year I was impressed with Sprints private media announcement introducing the HTC EVO device. It was a strong presentation, hands on demos of the EVO and with all the glamour of a movie premier. Well done, Mr. Hesse. As more and more consumers move up river in terms of device, applications, and data usage, I can see this device capturing more entry level PDA users rather than taking market share from Apple. But with that being said, Apple’s announcement to release a CDMA device this year is going to make 2010 a very interesting year for wireless.
