Welcome to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. This is the annual event in which we'll see some of the newest phones from the world's top manufacturers, as well as app developers. The event is in its first year at the new Fira Gran Via. (So that magnificent view you see above will shift to something else soon enough.)
This year most of the action's happening on Sunday, Feb. 24 and Monday, Feb 25, so those are the days not to miss.
A quick reminder that for those of you in the United States, Barcelona is between 6 and 9 hours ahead, depending on your time zone. Your best bet? Wake up early and keep your eyes glued to this page. (Sponsored by copious amounts of tapas, cervezas and smartphones.)
In addition to all things Android, we'll be lending a hand for our sister sites, CrackBerry.com, WPCentral, iMore and webOSNation, so be sure to check them as well. Events kick off on Sunday, Feb. 24, and run all week. Be sure to bookmark this page for the latest Android news.
