CES 2014: Windows Phone Central, Mobile Nations and Geek Beat unite!

In just over a month, we’re heading back to CES, the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. But this year, we’re not just going…we’re going big!

The Mobile Nations family is once again teaming up with our friends at Geek Beat and together we're going to be putting on #CESLIVE. We have some awesome booth space in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where we'll be setup and streaming live during tradeshow floor hours throughout the week of CES. CES Live will complement our standard coverage with plenty of interviews and product demos live from our stage.

Traditionally, each of the Mobile Nations sites do their own thing, but this year we’re pulling together as a team. Or a dysfunctional family reunion. Which ever. The fact is, between us and Geek Beat (with John P and Cali Lewis), we’re going to show you the best of the best at CES, just like you were there. Granted, Windows Phone news tends to be a little slow, but if it’s there, we’ll bring it.

As we discussed at length during Talk Mobile 2013, mobile now permeates into all areas of life - whether we're talking health and fitness, automotive, home technologies and more. All tech is becoming connected, and CES is where we'll get a first glimpse at a lot of the cool new technologies that will soon be hitting our lives. ">We'll follow up with more details on #CESLIVE as the event approaches. In the meantime, hit up the press release below for more details. Who’s excited? We are!
