We're a group of dedicated mobile technology maniacs who've been working with consumer mobile gadgets.
We love gadgets, and are not biased toward one platform or OS. While the most expensive units offer the most features, we understand that our readers have all sorts of budgets and hence we review models in all price ranges and will never tell you that you've got to buy the most expensive model out there. We also know that some of you are super-techies while others are novices, so we provide detailed reviews that are written in an accessible fashion.
Our team of writers have strong technology backgrounds. Our Editor in Chief worked for years as an IT Director and software architect while our Senior Editor honed her career in Silicon Valley. Both have advanced degrees in language and writing. Our contributing hardware reviewers are technologists and our game reviews are... hardcore gamers!
We are not owned by a parent corporation and we are not paid by any of the manufacturers whose products we review. We like it this way: it insures that our site will offer you unbiased reviews and opinions of the products you're considering purchasing. Our staff writes all reviews on this site, they are never farmed out to commercial writing firms. Manfuacturers do loan us the products we review, but that does not influence our opinion of the products.
How do we manage to make a living? A percentage of our revenue comes from banner advertising and the rest comes from merchandise links you'll see to buy the products we review. These links go to our trusted affiliates' stores such as Amazon.com, PriceGrabber and Wirefly.com. Our affiliates pay us a small percentage for every item purchased via one of these merchandise links. Our affiliates are some of the best in the industry, and perhaps more importantly, they're the folks we've been buying from as consumers for years because of their very low prices, fast shipping, reputability and quality of customer service. So if you decide to buy a device after reading our reviews, do us a favor and use the links on our site to make your purchase: you'll get a good deal and we'll be able to continue serving you this site. Thanks!
