Forget tech – instead, we’ll get to join the CES journey with photography, travel, green, and automotive bloggers – all of whom are CES newbies. And of course we’ve equipped each of them with a Nokia N8 pre-loaded to make their trip easier – and more fun – with some Ovi Store apps like Panorama, Foursquare, Pixelpipe, WordPress, and Qik so they bring you the CES in real time. Join us after the break to see who’s coming…
