Our Mission Statement...

pocketnow.com's vision is to educate, enlighten, and enlist new users to the world of Windows Mobile devices. We try to deliver our content in a fresh and insightful way, offering nothing but the highest quality. There are four types of content that we post: reviews, articles, commentary and news.

The philosophy behind our reviews is simple: thorough and hard-hitting. No piece of hardware or software is perfect, and we've made it our prerogative to reveal weakness in the products we review, so that hopefully, in the next version/iteration, we have a better product. We also put a big effort on being thorough. As a consumer, knowing about every aspect of a product is empowering so that when you take out your wallet, you know that you are making an informed decision.

The articles that we publish take the form of tutorials, product comparisons, and previews. Our goal is to provide value beyond what you'd read in other similar articles by integrating our own unique opinion and insight.

Our commentary pieces, which are subjective in nature, are designed to poke and prod an aspect of our industry in an attempt to get answers, express concern, or to stimulate discussion from our community.

Our late breaking news keeps you abreast of the latest happenings in the world of Windows Mobile. Our actionable tips and tricks keep your device working to its full potential.

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.
