About this Site: The Two Inch View
This blog is dedicated to Windows Mobile media and entertainment. And in case you didn’t get it, the site name comes from the screen sizes of some of these devices. “The Five Inch View” just didn’t sound as cool. 
Coverage will be focused purely on Windows Mobile devices, which includes Smartphones, Pocket PCs, and of course Portable Media Centers. My role here is to dig up interesting news items, write columns and tutorials about how to get the most out of your devices, and present you with reviews of great new hardware and software. Because this is a Microsoft Windows Mobile sponsored blog (as in, they pay for it), I’m hoping to get interviews with key people on Microsoft teams to bring you the inside track on where things are headed. I’m going to focus more on quality than quantity here. This is not going to be a high-volume news blog – for that, look to the other sites that I work on, Pocket PC Thoughts, Smartphone Thoughts, and Digital Media Thoughts. This is also not meant to be a full-blown community site, hence the lack of forums. This is a simple blog, but I believe it will serve a useful purpose in the Windows Mobile world.
Because of the Microsoft sponsorship on this project, this site is 100% advertising free: no affiliate links, no banners, no text ads, nothing. Our RSS feeds are full text, and the site is on a different (faster) server than my Thoughts Media sites. In addition to this gorgeous layout, the designer, Fabrizio Fiandanese, put a lot of effort into making this site as readable as possible on a number of devices and browsers - there’s a full mobile version as well, so you can read it from your Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones. Try a Print Preview from your browser just for fun - you’ll like the results. This is useful if you want to PDF any of the articles. It should be a great user experience - enjoy!
If you’d like to link to this site (I’d sure appreciate it!), you can use our 88 x 31 button, or our small logo.
About the Editor: Jason Dunn
I’ve been a geek since age ten when I was given my first computer: a Laser 128 Apple IIe clone. From then on, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with technology - mostly love, but every so often something will go really wrong and I wonder if I should have been a dirt farmer. I first became interested in Windows CE devices back in 1996 after I had a Casio BOSS 128K unit go bad on me, losing all my data. After that, I swore I’d never use any sort of electronic data device unless it could sync with my Windows desktop. When I heard about the Windows CE 1.0 HPC devices, I knew it was the device I was waiting for. I began pining for the Velo 1, a cutting-edge HPC with a built-in keyboard and modem - once I began using it, I was in awe. Thus began my obsession with anything running Windows CE. In 1997 I became a Windows CE MVP, and later we were re-named to Mobile Device MVPs. The rest, as they say, is history.
I was born, raised, and currently live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with my wonderful (and very understanding) wife Ashley, and our little dog Keiko. I graduated from Mount Royal College in 1998 with a degree in Applied Communications, majoring in Public Relations. I attend RockPointe Church where I sing lead vocals and play bass guitar on a regular basis. My other hobbies include digital video (I wrote Faster Smarter Digital Video in late 2002 and own a Canon GL2), digital photography (I own a Nikon D200, and a Casio Exilim S500). I dabble with digital audio using Acid, and have ripped every song from every CD I own. I love making media digital! You can follow my personal blog if you really want to know more.
Professionally, I’ve been self-employed in one way or another since 1993. At the moment I wear two hats: I am a freelance author and technical editor, and I run Thoughts Media Inc, a company aimed at franchising the success I’ve had with Pocket PC Thoughts. All sites are run on top of the Thoughts Media Engine, a CMS developed in-house by the awesomely talented Fabrizio Fiandanese.
