Welcome to gdgt live!
By Ryan Block
Covering the gadget world live has always been one of my favorite aspects of writing about technology. And I don’t just mean hitting news 24/7, I mean actually being at the big press events doing real-time, in-depth coverage of high profile announcements. It’s a crazy, addicting rush, and there’s just nothing like being on the front lines to report as something big debuts — which is partly why I couldn’t stand to make 2009 the first time in a long time that I wasn’t covering the CES and Macworld keynotes (Jobs or no Jobs!).
From here on in, gdgt live is your spot for finding all of our live event coverage. Because gdgt (and gdgt live) isn’t a blog, we won’t be blowing out the news with post after post, but you will definitely want to be checking in next week when I hit up the Macworld 2009 keynote with Phil Schiller, the CES 2009 keynote with Steve Ballmer, and Palm’s big Nova announcement. (Full schedule is posted after the break; if there’s anything else you’re dying to see coverage of, email us at contact at gdgt!)
P.S. -As a note, similar to what’s currently at gdgt.com, we don’t have comments enabled. Don’t worry, this isn’t some foreboding sign of things to come when gdgt launches in full — in fact, it’s quite the opposite, we just want to make sure everything plays nicely together later on, so for now that means no comments. Thanks for your patience.
P.P.S. -Shout out Rob and the team at Mosso for hosting our coverage!
