A little about me

I set up androidbloke.co.uk because I am really passionate about mobile devices. Since I bought my first Nokia 2110 and my first Psion handheld,  I have been hooked on the latest mobile gadgets.  Whether it be windows mobile, Palm, Symbian or even the Iphone and blackberry software, I had always found that there was always something lacking and the only way to change it was to wait.  When Google announced an open source Android Platform in 2007,   I felt that this would be the building block for creating not just my dream devices but ones that would push the mobile world and internet  forward. When the Tmobile G1 was finally released in 2008, I was near the front of the line of people queuing outside the tmobile store on that cold rainy morning.

Since then we have seen a multitude of new devices launch, we have seen the first steps in “augmented reality” thanks to G1’s pioneering compass and we have seen a multitude of new carriers announce their intentions to go forward with Android.    I hope that this blog will be a useful source for people to gauge a good idea of the state of Android in the UK, and will allow me to meet other people that share this passion and vision of mobile future.
