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.

Advertising...

Take advantage of our outstanding readership. Our quality content is viewed by many thousands of unique visitors each day, many of whom would be interested in your products. Though our content is predominately Windows Mobile-focused, we enjoy covering nontraditional PDAs, wireless technology, and other subject matter relevant to our industry. Please contact us such that we may discuss advertising rates and our fantastic banner program.

He's proud to be part of the pocketnow.com heritage, one that extends back to the primitive days of the Pocket PC operating system.

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.
