Photos: CTIA 2009, Part I

LAS VEGAS -- CTIA Wireless 2009 -- The largest North American wireless tradeshow concluded Friday, with organizers reporting some 34,000 attendees from 169 countries. That's down from the "40,000-plus" attendees the show staff said they saw this time last year.

While walking the slightly less crowded show floor, we came across a wider-than-ever range of different personalities and technologies. Our photo series will attempt to give you a glimpse of what we encountered, from the sublime to the silly. Click the photo below to launch this first 10-pic slideshow:
