About the Authors
Michael J. O’Farrell started his mobile Internet career in the early 1990s,
by pioneering the development of text messaging, mobile-phone-based
applications, and the mobile Web to reach mass market audiences globally.
In addition to consulting companies on how to capitalize on the power of
the mobile Internet, he is vice chairman of ooober and chair of the dotMobi
Advisory Group. Michael wrote this book to help his friends, family, wife, and
two children in Toronto better understand his addiction to all things mobile.
John R. Levine wrote his first program in 1967 on an IBM 1130 (a computer
somewhat less powerful than your typical modern digital wristwatch, only
more difficult to use). Although John used to spend most of his time writing
software, now he mostly writes books (including Internet For Dummies , pub-
lished by Wiley Publishing, Inc.) because it’s more fun and he can do so at
home in the tiny village of Trumansburg, New York, where in his spare time
he was the mayor for several years.
Jostein Algroy is senior advisor for the government of Ontario, Canada.
He has been active in the mobile space for more than 15 years as an inter-
national consumer market strategist and published journalist. Jostein has
taught international business, strategy, new product development, and
design at Copenhagen Business School. He also works with photography,
having achieved awards and recognition for his art, and looks forward to
the day when mobile phones are equipped with high-quality, 8-megapixel
cameras.
James Pearce is the chief technology officer at dotMobi. He has the
mobile Web in his veins, having worked previously at Argogroup and
AnywhereYouGo and as the founder of the “old school” mobile blog
WAPtastic. Variously a management consultant, a teacher, an orienteer,
and an Oxford University physicist by training, James has declared every
year since 1997 to be the Year of the Mobile Web. For the sake of his wife
and two children, with whom he lives happily in Dublin, we hope he’s
finally right.
Daniel Appelquist is an American expatriate and a dot-com refugee living in
London, England, where he works as a technology strategist for Vodafone, a
company he represents in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), where he
chairs the Mobile Web Best Practices working group. He is an evangelist for
mobile Web topics, a published author, a frequent speaker, and a co-founder
of Mobile Monday London and the Mobile 2.0 conferences. You can usually
catch Dan mobile blogging while hanging out with his wife and two kids.
