CTIA Super Mobility 2014 Day One

Well, the enormous news by Apple showed how big they are.  We may not see huge news like that at this year's Super Mobility Conference but it is still an amazing event.

I've captured just a bit for you.

First, what is the CTIA?

http://www.ctia.org/

The wireless mobility conference to end all conferences.  This brings together all the categories around mobile including the actual cell tower providers, cell phone repair, accessories, etc. etc. etc.  Huge.

The speakers are pretty tremendous this year and come from most of the major players, other than Apple.

Here is Twitter with CNBC at the afternoon keynote:

I'll have quite a bit more to write about later this week but for now I want to share the coolest charging station I've ever seen.

These are little, personalized, lockers for your phone to charge in.  Simply insert your phone in to an empty locker, connect the charger, close the door and enter any 4 digit code.  Walk away.  Come back later and re-enter your code to access the locker and retrieve your phone.  Brilliant.

Now if they could just improve batteries so we wouldn't need cool lockers like this!

Happy Reading,
