If you read my previous post on how I made millions from an iPhone app, you would be curious to know how I am coping. Well, I am doing OK – thank you. Especially since that story was totally made up. As some of you may know, our lead techie does not look a bit like the fat pig I drew up. Neither does he smoke (I think). He is a lean, mean coding machine packaged in a 6ft frame.

Since you asked, I use a Blackberry Torch (9800) for my on-the-go communication and entertainment needs. I have been using it for close to 6 months now. So far, I love it.
