jkOnTheRun: Walt Mossberg: please stop writing mobile tech revie
Sorry. I hate to be harsh and I fully respect Mr. Mossberg for his overall breadth of technology knowledge, but I really haven't seen an article worth reading from him on mobile tech yet. It's not his writing skills, style or general computing knowledge; it's fair to say those are all excellent. The problem is one of perspective and it applies to many "tech journalists" out there today. If you aren't a mobile device user / expert, you're essentially doomed to miss or just "not get" how a mobile device is to be used and in what circumstances. If you agree with that premise, then why are you writing about mobile devices? That would be me like writing about mainframe technology when I only have a cursory understanding of 'em. (And yes, they're still used today!) I liken this to being handed a hammer when I need to cut some wood and then saying that "this saw" just doesn't work.
