| Jack Cook | www.experiencemobility.com | I have been a Pocket PC enthusiast for many years. I was fortunate in my early years to have had the opportunity of having others share information with me that made my understanding of the Pocket PC a little bit stronger. The result was that I began sharing information with others as the opportunity arose.
Participating in a variety of forums throughout the past several years has broadened my experience with the Pocket PC. Throughout this time, I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing information with others to help make their experience with their Pocket PC a little more rewarding.
Over the past several years, I have actively participated on several sites. Currently, I am the Senior Editor on Mobilitysite, participate on the Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine blogs and operate Experience Mobility (www.experiencemobility.com). After spending 35 years teaching mathematics and serving as a principal, I still have that desire to "teach" and share information. I think this quality will be of great value as a judge.
I hope that I have been helpful and informative to those that have visited these sites and if I am selected again to be a judge, I hope that I will be able to continue to give back to the mobile community.
