Quick Bio: Guy Kawasaki

Following hot on the heels of Fred Wilson’s Quick Mobile Bio yesterday, I’m delighted to be able to feature Guy Kawasaki.

Sometimes I have to stop reading Guy’s blog for a few days at a time.  I often find it too good. To full of information that I can’t do anything for 15 minutes whilst I sit and assimilate his comments.  The producitivty rate and quality of the content on his blog is astounding — I thoroughly recommend adding it to your regular reading list.

Guy is Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures, a columnist for Forbes and more recently, a prolific blogger — not to mention an author to boot (More details here). I was there, reading from the start! 

In my quest to find out what other people — not necessarily involved directly in the mobile industry — think about mobile, I emailed Guy to see if he could answer my standard 3 question Quick Mobile Bio. 

He could!  Here we go:

1. What was the make of your first phone?
Motorola

[I’m guessing he’s referring to one of the first ‘brick’ Motorola handsets!]

2. What make your current phone?
Motorola Q

3. What’s are the most used features on your current handset?
EVDO to get IMAP email

—

This last answer I find interesting:  I think I’d have expected a Blackberry as the primary handset since they are so popular in North America.  Or perhaps another similar PDA with a keyboard – a Treo for example.   Lucky that Guy has access to EVDO on his handset — we’re limited to 384k ‘3g’ here in London, so when it comes to accessing your IMAP on a mobile… it can take forever.  😉

Anyway, Guy, thank you for taking the time to answer. 

More Quick Mobile Bios coming soon!
