Once his service in the U.S. shortly, and will now have the chance to prove themselves in the mobile world's most important scene. Neither Google nor Apple, both of which have transformed the mobile reality, will be exhibiting at the show. It wills not mobile giant Nokia, which was first chosen to meet with their clients and the press outside the fairgrounds.
