Brandon Miniman
Editor-in-Chief

Brandon is a graduate from the Villanova School of Business, located near Philadelphia, PA. He manages pocketnow's fantastic team of writers to bring valuable smartphone and Windows Mobile content to the readership. He spends his free time cooking, playing piano and drums, and reading non-fiction. He's so obsessed with technology that he once entered a candle store and asked if they had a "new electronics" scent. They didn't.

Jaime Rivera
Creative Editor

Jaime is our proud Latin American import from sunny San Pedro Sula, Honduras. He has 10 years of management experience in the Airline business and continues his knowledge pursuit in the Honduran Technological University (UTH). He became a mobile device fan after he learned that his first iPAQ 3630 could keep him tuned into the many things he’s passionate about; some being God through his Bible studies, reading, music, and aviation. Six years and lots of devices later, his “toys” have become a key tool in helping him stretch his time between his love for the Air, his commitment to keeping our colossal review record growing with even more cutting edge content, significant traveling, and his bright eight year old son.

Daniel Webster
Contributing Editor

Daniel resides near the Seattle metropolitan area. Being so close to some of worlds the largest technology corporations has definitely made an impact in his life. He began using Windows Mobile devices back in high school. His journalism teacher won a contest and every student in his class was given an iPAQ. Soon after he began hacking cellular Windows Mobile devices. Bill Gates stated back in the late 1990’s to be employed in two industries; healthcare and mobility technology. Daniel has taken it to heart by working in emergency medicine, hacking Windows Mobile devices, and perusing higher education. His free time is usually spent with his family and friends, at the gym, hiking in the Cascade and Olympic mountains, watching movies, or relaxing with a good book while the rain falls.
