About Me

Operating out of a very small box room in the North of England, I've been writing online since 2004, as a commentator on British sci fi, PC gaming and more recently mobile technology, in particular Windows Mobile.

From here I progressed through the various Pocket PC versions through to Windows Mobile 6.1 before switching to Android.

I currently use a HTC HD7 Windows Phone, an Advent Vega tablet with modded Honeycomb operating system and a Windows 7 64-bit desktop running a four core Phenom II CPU, plus various virtual machines...
