I’m a gadget geek. I freely admit it. I love electronic gadgets, and that’s all there is to it. What’s better, I get to play with gadgets for a living. Is this great or what?! Each week, I’m going to take a little bit of time to write here and reflect gadgets, technology, and maybe a little bit of news here and there. As you would expect, being on the SMobile site, I will generally focus on mobile technology.

New mobile “devices” (as they’re called in the industry) come out constantly, and each round is more capable than the last. Something I find very interesting is how mobile gadgets are changing our lives. They offer us a level of connectivity to the world around us that has never been possible before. It wasn’t long ago that my cell phone could do little more than make phone calls. If you were on the cutting edge, you had a slick little flip phone with a camera built in. If you were lucky, you had a camera with enough resolution that you could actually tell who you had taken the picture of! Now, I can’t imagine having a phone that can not surf the web, shoot video, run custom applications to do things like update Twitter or Facebook, and give me directions to the nearest coffee shop.

Unless you live in a very remote area, you probably have access to at least one carrier’s mobile data network. Just about anywhere, you can have an always-on connection to the internet in the palm of your hand. Combine that with a touch screen interface, and you literally have the world at your fingertips.
