Who are the devphone editors? We are developers who passionately care about technology and its usability. We are excited about the recent boost given to the world of mobile thanks to the iPhone and Android. We have found it hard to find a good cross-platform place to get mobile developers to communicate, so we thought we would start one. This is Why we are here.

We would love to hear from you. Do you have ideas for content that we should be posting? Would you like to become an editor? Please email us and let us know!
