Welcome to About Mobility. My name is C. Enrique Ortiz and this is my blog where I cover mobile computing in general - my views on mobility, software, technologies & products, and related areas; with the occasional tangent into other unrelated thoughts. I try to blog at least once per week, if time permits.
All opinions you read here are my own and are not necessarily those of my employer. See my About and my Legal pages.
