Focus:
This year I am planning to be more consistent with my publishing schedule. I will try to challenge myself to publish one article every day.
Besides that I plan on publishing more podcast, video cast and screen cast to bring more variety. At the same time I plan on conducting polls and interviews and Question & Answer type of articles.
The focus will still be Android and other smart phone platforms, but to add variety, I will review some Windows Phone apps too. As usual various start-ups, web apps and online services will get exposure too. I will keep introducing you to new products and services as we go along.
