Following hot on the heels of Fred Wilson’s Quick Mobile Bio yesterday, I’m delighted to be able to feature Guy Kawasaki.
Sometimes I have to stop reading Guy’s blog for a few days at a time. I often find it too good. To full of information that I can’t do anything for 15 minutes whilst I sit and assimilate his comments. The producitivty rate and quality of the content on his blog is astounding — I thoroughly recommend adding it to your regular reading list.
Guy is Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures, a columnist for Forbes and more recently, a prolific blogger — not to mention an author to boot (More details here). I was there, reading from the start!
In my quest to find out what other people — not necessarily involved directly in the mobile industry — think about mobile, I emailed Guy to see if he could answer my standard 3 question Quick Mobile Bio.
He could! Here we go:
1. What was the make of your first phone?
Motorola
[I'm guessing he's referring to one of the first 'brick' Motorola handsets!]
2. What make your current phone?
Motorola Q
3. What’s are the most used features on your current handset?
EVDO to get IMAP email
—
This last answer I find interesting: I think I’d have expected a Blackberry as the primary handset since they are so popular in North America. Or perhaps another similar PDA with a keyboard - a Treo for example. Lucky that Guy has access to EVDO on his handset — we’re limited to 384k ‘3g’ here in London, so when it comes to accessing your IMAP on a mobile… it can take forever.
Anyway, Guy, thank you for taking the time to answer.
More Quick Mobile Bios coming soon!
With the market saying 'no' to Nokia's Ovi Store, what do you think can be done to change this?
