About
Us
We're a group of dedicated mobile technology maniacs who've been working with consumer mobile gadgets since the days
of the Apple Newton. Our site was founded in 1998 and our name changed
from pdabuyersguide.com to MobileTechReview.com in Jan. 2005 to
better reflect the broad range of mobile technology we cover.
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 supported by any of the manufacturers
whose products we review here. 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. 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!
