By day a department manager and writer for a major network device vendor...by night Zealot stalks the mean magnetic streets, striking fear into the hearts of bandwidth abusers and theme park mascots. Zealot has been involved with mobile devices for more than a decade now, starting off with dumb phones, moving to PDAs and then to smartphones, notebooks and netbooks with the odd PMP thrown in.

He proudly groks the Geek community and considers himself a Neo Maxi Zune Dweebie (thanks Will Wheaton!).

That encoded countdown ticking down on the www.droiddoes.com site advertising Verizon’s upcoming release of the Motorola Droid is so cool. What a brilliant marketing gambit. Really clever that they gave no statement of what …
