I agree, CES is generally the Audiovox, Sony, etc..OEM/Distributor show for consumer egadgets along with 32 booths for cell phone accessories - think OtterBox LOL

IMO, CTIA Wireless show in May is a better fit because of target at Carriers, Suppliers, and Devices. They just announced new members;

"CTIA has also announced its 2013 officers, elected by its 38-member board of directors.
