Wireless award winners announced at CTIA

It didn't take long for the gaming industry to realign its view--moving deftly from Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to the even sunnier and hotter confines of New Orleans where CTIA Wireless 2005 kicked off this week.

As is now a CTIA custom, GameSpot and sister site Wireless Gaming Review handed out the coveted Mobies awards last night at this mobile applications-focused trade show.
