Wireless

While this likely comes as no surprise to consumer technology professionals, there's a major benchmark happening this year: The number of mobile phone users will overtake the number of non-users for the first time, according to the U.N. telecoms agency. Simply put, that means more than half the people on the planet now have cell phones. In 2000, only 12 percent of the global population had a mobile phone. What else is happening in the wireless market this year? Well, take a look at these trends:

• Smartphones post solid gains.
• Touchscreen mania sets in as competitors chase iPhone.
• Location-based services set for take-off.
• The next big thing: NAV on mobile phones.
• High-speed networks promise faster Internet access.
• New mobile TV formats undergo field trials.
• A slow down is expected in standard handset sales.

Register today for the 2009 International CES to learn, network and investigate new technology in the wireless industry and many other consumer technology markets. It's free if you sign up before November 1.
