CTIA announces best in show
Kent German Former senior managing editor / features
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
The slim Samsung SGH-T509 was named as Best in Show yesterday as part of the CTIA Wireless Emerging Technology Awards. I helped comb through the entries on Tuesday to determine the finest products in four categories. I'm a little surprised by some of the winners--it seems some judges chose on style alone--but here are the winners in the categories I viewed.
