In 2010, all signs point to record numbers of consumers using mobile devices, from smartphones to e-readers. With Apple’s release of the iPad, it is clear that the applicability of the mobile device is going to continue to cross boundaries between personal and professional use, from email to video viewing and beyond.

Last year, the iPhone debuted to long lines and tons of hype. Users were drawn to the multi-touch screen and the seamless integration of Apple’s applications. For the most part it has lived up to the hype and has also spawned countless attempts to mimic its success, some of which are really cool.

The regular baseball season is coming to a close. The Red Sox are fighting to the bitter end for the penant as we gear up for the playoffs. I love this time of year.

Hello from San Francisco!
It’s been a crazy few days here at CTIA, but I wanted to take a few minutes to blog about what I’ve seen on the show floor before my flight home takes off.
