ces I really, really want to go to CES one of these years.  However, since you and I may not be able to make it for whatever reason, there are tons of outlets to find information.  Since one of my favorite technology focuses is mobile technology, I’d like to point you to some of the sites and people that I’m following during CES.

  1. jkOnTheRun – A blog started by James Kendrick many years ago, it’s a great site for news and views on all facets of mobile tech.  Keven C. Tofel joined James last year and the two have become the dynamic duo on covering the mobile tech scene.
  2. GottaBeMobile – Featuring Warner Crocker, Rob Bushway, Matt Faulkner and Sierra Modro, GottaBeMobile has a history of great coverage.
  3. Engadget Mobile – Always a favorite, Engadget is always on top of mobile news.

Anyway, these are the top three sites I’m watching for news from CES.  Yeah, ZDNet, PC World, etc… are covering as well – but these are more mobile-centric.

What does a mobile pro take to CES?

Check out this post by Kevin Tofel over at jkOnTheRun. It’s his list of gear to take to CES 2008.

What’s in Kevin’s CES gear bag?

Sierra1Holy cow! Do I really leave for the CES in Las Vegas at the end of this week? I’m not prepared just yet, but somehow, I suspect the show will go on… with me or without me. Time to start getting my gear together and just like James did, I’ll share the list of items coming along. This is my third CES in a row and each year I take fewer items. It’s just too hectic of a week to pack heavy.

Since I’m on a tighter budget this year over last, I really haven’t added that many devices to my current stable so regular readers might be disappointed with the list. Still, these devices are serving me well; if they weren’t, I’d find a way to replace them for sure! Here’s what I’ll take for sure; all devices will be in my carry-on bag as it’s cheaper and easier for me to replace clothes and not devices that are configured the way I like in the event of lost luggage:
