Who’s On, What’s On iPhone
By 
They’re been quite a few changes here on the site over the last few months.
The Developer’s Corner is up and we are excited to see it become a venue for developers to share their apps, insights and updates with us.
An internal site messaging system is up and working — more on that later.
Perhaps the biggest change, however, is the increased number of voices here on the site. In addition to Dimitri, Brad, Jim, Jennifer and me, we have had the good fortune to be joined by a number of new individuals over the last weeks and I just wanted to take a (belated) few minutes to allow each to briefly introduce themselves.
I love the fact that as the site continues to grow so too do the variety of perspectives offered, not just in the comments, but through the reviews themselves. We have a great group of writers here on WOiP. The range of experience, age, location etc is tremendous but we are all more than a bit enthusiastic about our OSx iPhone-running devices. I’m pleased to invite them to share a bit.
Thanks to all of our writers– and especially you, our readers, for making the site what it is.
Bios after the break…
Aldrin- Drin
As a child, I loved tinkering with my battery-operated toys. I like to think of that as essentially a precursor to my being an electronics and communications engineer today. At home, and sometimes at work when I’m not busy designing circuits and testing prototypes, I turn to my favorite battery-operated toy since having it for my birthday last 2008, my iPhone 3G, and listen to Dashboard Confessional, download Harry Potter podcasts, watch The Office and check my Facebook. And I make calls and send SMS with it, too. I live in the capital of "the texting capital of the world," and I have come to realize that I am pathologically incapable of saving enough money to buy a Mac.
Travis- Coach
I am a history teacher and high school coach in Texas. Currently, I am also working on my Masters of Education Administration. I am married with two boys ages 1 and 4 who are already becoming tech lovers just like their dad. I love being a tech geek and following geek news and podcasts. When I am not coaching or studying I enjoy playing the guitar and turning hand made custom pens. www.tedesigns.us The iPhone has brought my gadget habit to a new level. There is a constant search for the perfect app to make my life easier and more organized. It is truly an amazing platform that I think we have only began to see the possibilities. I am truly excited to join the WOIP team and hope to help everyone in their choices of applications and hardware.

I am a high school physics teacher in Austin, Texas. My wife bought me my first iphone for father’s day. It was a 2G late enough that I could trade it in for the 3G. It was wrapped in a refrigerator box. You know she loves me. Before that I was Palm all the way ending with the Sony Clie UX50/U, a worthy forefather to the iphone, but in the end just not enough.
Stephen- SSSchmidt
I’m a retired US Navy Submarine Sonar Technician, currently employed as a hotel wage slave with a financially unhealthy addiction to mobile technology. I recent convert to the "Dark Side" of Mac.
During these long years and effecting repairs to numerous equipment, I developed a need for Technology / Pens / and other things shiny. The final 3 years found me stationed at a remote reserve center in Greenville South Carolina where I then became involved with computer networking. The Technology /Pens/and other things shiny took a real hold on me here. Following my retirement from the Navy, I have held several jobs. The current one being a Desk Wage Slave at a Downtown Louisville hotel.
My current and past devices: Sharp Wizard, Handspring Visor Platinum, Audiovox Maestro, Toshiba E755, Dell Axim X51V. Now add in converged devices: HTC Startrek, AT&T Tilt, and finally Apple iPhone 3g
I enjoy beta testing, software program evaluation and review. I also am always on the look for my next gadget. Hence My Avatar. Prehistoric Mouse chasing the technological acorn.
