Introduction From a Long Time Mobile User

Hello Palm Addict readers. My name is Marty Mankins. I’m a new Associate Writer here and wanted to introduce myself. I’ve been using handhelds, PDAs and smartphones since 1989 and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the pages of Palm Addict.

My current arsenal of gadgets I use on a daily basis keeps me both organized and with no shortage of a mobile device that is nearby at all times. Between my main phone – a Treo 755p, my backup phone – a Treo 750 (running Windows Mobile 6 Pro), an HP Jornada 728 (for the instant-on feature, being able to write down ideas, articles, thoughts and notes) and a MacBook Pro (running both Mac OS X Tiger and VMWare Fusion with Windows XP to keep all of the above mobile devices synced and backed up), I have pretty much everything I need to keep it all together, no matter where I go.

And speaking of going, I will be traveling this next week – literally on the road – going through Nevada and California to see the sites, visit family and end up in Las Vegas before heading home. I will be connected along the way via tethered access to the web on my 755p.

I will try to post as often as time allows with some of my thoughts on using mobile devices. For now, it's great to be posting out here and hope you will enjoy what I have to share.
