About Me

I have been an avid PDA user since 1999 when I purchased my Palm V. I used it originally to keep my contacts/calendar up to date, sync with my work emails and play games. I quickly found it to be limiting as what I could do, so I took the dive into the PocketPC world and bought a Compaq iPAQ 3765. All of the sudden, I was really hooked on Windows Mobile devices. The rest as they say is history. I just kept upgrading every couple years or less!

I currently work for one of the national health insurers as a Business Development Manager, working with our sales teams to drive new business. On the side, I am an amateur photographer and also a moderator and contributing editor on www.pocketnow.com as well as a moderator on this site.

Listed below is a listing of all the PDA/Smartphones I own. Also listed are software and hardware I own and use currently on my AT&T Tilt. Also, where available, I have provided links to almost everything on my list so it's easy for you to find. Please come back as I update my profile often.
