Mobility is the name of the game this week, as the CTIA show lights up the town in San Francisco. (Live it up, wireless fans, because after San Fran passed a law this year requiring radiation labels on cell phones, CTIA decided it would find somewhere else to leave its heart next year.) All of the major vendors are showcasing new gadgets and gizmos, many of which show promise for enterprise use.

The newly unveiled Moto Droid Pro could be "Motorola's BlackBerry," writes Sean Hollister at Engadget. A robust keyboard, responsive touchscreen and speediness add up to a potentially efficient work tool. It comes with an optional extended battery, spellcheck built into the operating system, and a multi-headed VPN client. Most importantly, perhaps, in early 2011 it will offer full device encryption, Hollister writes.

Motorola dished out six other Android phones besides the Droid Pro this week. The "Flipside" phone aims to give users a way to manage their work and personal lives seamlessly. It enables users to stay connected to the job, with support for Exchange, corporate email, password enforcement, remote wipe and other special compliance features.

Not everyone is convinced the new devices merit the price tag though. Fortune's Seth Weintraub writes that these devices might suit users who are looking for a small form factor, but otherwise they may be too pricey given comparable rivals that go for less.

Pretty much everyone else in the wireless industry is launching new products this week too. In sum, the iPhone is likely to get a run for its money in the coming year. For all the latest, in this week's mobility news, stay tuned to FierceMobileIT and the CTIA Live microsite at FierceWireless.
