About: Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with electronics and not much has changed today. I think it was all the Science Fiction I was exposed to growing up. Over the years I have become more fascinated with mobile electronics. Some of my favorites were iPaq Pocket PC's, HP T-1100 Tablet PC, and the Motorola Star-Tac. (Good Times) I am also addicted to smartphones much to my wife and bank accounts displeasure. BlackBerry Storm 1 & 2, Tour and Bold 2 have been replaced by HTC Eris, HTC Droid Incredible, and the Samsung Vibrant. I am very excited for the Android Tablets arriving soon, especially the Galaxy Tab. I met my fellow founders of TechXplosion through a BlackBerry site with a Bad Attitude and wanting more, we created TechXplosion to cover all tech stories world wide. I hope to be posting stories and reviewing products forever as I will be a Cyborg someday........unless the Mayans turn out to be correct. :)See Authors Posts (540) On Tuesday, August 17th 2010.

*Update* Last week I was contacted by Spring Mobile Marketing Director John Betts to discuss the experience I had with the Spring Mobile Store in Orem Utah.
