Who are the Mobility Guys
Chris Leckness
Microsoft MVP - Mobile Devices & Digital Media (Zune)
Chris Leckness has been a gadget freak for as long as he can remember. Starting off with a Handmedown Commodore Vic-20, he was an early adopter of the personal computer world. Chris was an Electronics Technician in the US Navy for almost 10 years. During his time in the US Navy, Chris always enjoyed making websites as a hobby. Building a site for anything he was into at the time.
After the Navy, he started work for Bellsouth Telecommunications, where he still works by day. After giving up on the Palm OS in 2002, Chris bought a Dell Axim X5 and decided to build a site to share his findings as he learned. The site was called, “Aximsite”! Since December 2002, Aximsite.com has helped thousands of users to purchase Axims and Chris and his users provided tips and support to many more.
Today Aximsite.com has evolved into a large site with 120,000+ members and often times hosts 600-700 users at any given time. Aximsite has become a resource not only for Axim owners, but for any PocketPC user. Future plans include expansion into other devices as well as smartphones and Tablets.
Chris also runs a Mobilitysite.com, which is a Mobility Tech Blog/ Community.

Jack Cook
Microsoft MVP - Mobile Devices
Jack spent 35 years teaching mathematics, worked as a Dean of Students, and completed his career as a Principal of a suburban school just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Throughout his years in public education, the computer field has always sparked an interest in him. In his early years as a teacher, he became proficient with computers by teaching himself “BASIC” with an old HP card reader. Handheld computers soon became his passion where he eventually focused his attention on the HP iPAQ.
Always the teacher, Jack participates in several discussion groups but has maintained an active role on Boston Pocket PC and Mobilitysite. Jack brings to the iPAQ community, news, events, and reviews that generate the same passion in iPAQ’s that he has had at his new blog Experience Mobility.
Retirement has not slowed Jack down, he finds himself busier today than ever before. Traveling between Massachusetts and Maine, he is continually writing, reading and working with his iPAQ. In addition, Jack serves on the board of advisors for SCOTTEVEST.
