Will Park, Editor in Chief

Will hails from The City of Angels - Los Angeles, California. He spends his time playing with his numerous gadgets and telling his friends what the future holds for mobile technology. An avid promoter of a fully “digital” life, he promotes the widespread adoption of truly mobile, paper-less living. He dreams of the day when he can go completely digital. No more snail mail, paper receipts, bound books, notepads/spiral notebooks, credit cards, hard currency. Call Will an extreme tech fanatic if you want, he would like to think of himself as a digital warrior - fighting for the converged life. He is an idealist and a realist - he has a perfect view of what the world should be but knows that the world is not perfect. Can we ever hope to see Will’s dream become reality? We’ll see…

Dusan Belic, Editor

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The “convergence” is what he’s most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it’s an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he’s there to try it out. He admits though, he’s still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which “sings” perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

Stefan Constantinescu, Editor

On November 19, 2006 Stefan started Ring Nokia. He had absolutely no clue how it gained such an immense following, but after less than 6 months of rants and intense coverage on the Finnish giant he was offered a position at IntoMobile. He simply couldn’t refuse the offer because it was his ticket out of America; it was his opportunity to work from anywhere in the world as long as he had an internet connection. Stefan always loved Europe due to the rich history and diversity of cultures and one day instead of buying a Nokia E90 he chose to purchase a ticket to Finland.

Why Finland? Simple, Stefan feels he could make a difference in the company who he has loved for over half a decade. Nokia is the number one handset manufacturer in the world, but consumers rarely get an opportunity to meet the people behind their favorite products, Stefan wants to change that.

If you enjoy a fine meal, don’t you want to know who made it? If you love to relieve stress and tension by taking a drive around the block, don’t you want to know more about your car and the people who designed and built it? Some people could care less, but those are not the people Stefan is targeting.

Stefan is a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet and he knows that there are others like him out there. When Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said he wants Nokia to become an Internet company he immediately started asking questions to try and understand what that meant exactly and in August 2007 it became clear with the launch of Ovi.

Stefan’s goal at the end of the day is to revolutionize the marketing department at Nokia and actually force them to use the abundant array of social tools out there to connect the people behind the devices and services to the people who love using them on a daily basis. Starting March 17, 2008 Stefan began his role as a Communications Specialist for Nokia.

Ben Robinson, Editor

Ben is a 10-year veteran of the mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people, he now works in next-generation mobile applications. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!

He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to nth degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already crowded life. It’s his opinion that mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it!

His focus at IntoMobile will be mainly on Mobile TV, Convergent Services, and Content, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at Devices. Additionally, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

Simon Sage, Editor

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.

With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
