JR Raphael has been covering Android since the early 1800s (those first couple centuries were admittedly somewhat slow). He is a contributing editor at Computerworld, a contributing editor at PCWorld, and a regular contributor to numerous other publications, both in print and online.

JR launched Android Power in 2010 to serve as an unfiltered home for his various mobile musings. His goal with the blog is simple: to deliver a diverse mix of unique and original content that goes beyond the basic headlines. Whether it's news, views, or how-to's, Android Power is all about providing interesting information and insights -- not the same ol' stuff you've already seen everywhere else.

Since its start, Android Power stories have been quoted, cited, and discussed by everyone from Wired, Lifehacker, and Engadget to USA Today, CNN, and NPR. The blog has earned multiple National Azbee Awards and more than a few nasty comments from the Internet’s Apple faithful.

In his spare time, JR cracks wise at eSarcasm, voted 0.2 times as the best geek-humor website in the world. He enjoys staring blankly, employing the vernacular, and writing about himself in the third-person.
