US Mobile Industry goes to CTIA, Vegas

vegas1It’s official.  US Mobile Industry is “Media”.  We’ll be attending the upcoming CTIA Wireless conference in Las Vegas, NV April 1 – 3.  tnkgrl from tnkgrl Mobile will be along for the ride, and having friends along is always more fun.

While digging up airline tickets and hotel reservations, I used Kayak.com, which I’ve never actually used before.  Thumbs up for Kayak, because it can also search five other sites for the cheapest tickets.  Airfare and Hotelbooked for about $209.  Damn, why don’t I fly to Vegas all the time?

Another webiste I’m excited about is TripIt.com.  TripIt can take all your airline, hotel, and car reservation information, and deliver a nice iteniary from beginning to end, with all your relevant information in order.  After setting up a TripIt account, you simply forward the confirmation emails, and TripIt does the rest.

I’m also excited about flying on Virgin Airlines.  I’ve heard nothing but good things about their planes and the people that run them.  The flight we’re on also has Wifi, although it looks like it’ll be $10 for this flight.  We’ll be testing it for sure, posting the available bandwidth, full port scan, and what services work.  An internet connection in the sky!  Who’d have thought?

If anyone would like to hook up with us at CTIA, maybe do a little Insider interview, a Blogger Profile interview, or a one-minute product elevator pitch, let us know! Email : matthewb[at]usmobileindustry[dot]com

Watch out Vegas.  Here we come!
