New product introductions continued with this theme, featuring smartphones and other mobile data devices that leverage the power of the mobile Internet. Comprehensive video coverage of the show - including highlights from the keynote stage - can be viewed online at http://www.ctia.org.

"The mobile industry demonstrated its strength this week - from new devices to aggressive mobile broadband plans to demonstrating global leadership. Next year's event in New Orleans, which is already more than 90 percent sold, should be even bigger and better."
