My name is Michael King, and I’m a mobile analyst…. Well, a recovering analyst.

As some of you may have heard, after 11 years of covering the mobile data space, and specifically mobile application platforms and development for Gartner, I transitioned from Gartner to Appcelerator at the end of the year.  As with any life change, you tend to get a little philosophical about what you learned and what you take away from the experience. Other than more friends and more good times than I can count, it’s the 1000s and 1000s of conversations with senior level IT people about mobility, which stick in my head.
