You know how the old saying goes: time flies when you're having fun. No wonder that our long-awaited visit to Barcelona for MWC 2013 seemed so short. Oh well, at least we had a great time at the expo, got to see some hot smartphones and tablets, played with cool new gadgets, and took a whole bunch of photos...

Barely any noteworthy devices, this has been the most uneventful MWC I've seen.

This mwc was really dissapointin.....no real innovation...all were basically sized up/down version of previous flagships

Other than the Galaxy Note 8.0, Asus Fonepad, and the new Xperia Z Tablet, I didnt like this years MWC. Seems to me that smartphones are starting to hit their peak. The last notable innovation was the original Galaxy Note. I wouldnt be surpsurprised if there was a company to offer a phone with more than 2GB of RAM like that within the next 2 years
