Name: Evan Koblentz Location: New Jersey I’m 29, live in New Jersey, and I write about big-business computing for a living (mostly for trade magazines.) I don’t have the most gadgets or the priciest gadgets, just some of the coolest ones. On the surface, my gadgets aren’t mind-blowing. The PDA I use everyday is a [...]
