Questions relating to www.davespda.com
How do I submit a product or software for review?
The best way is to simply email dave@davespda.com.
I will get back to you with information on how to get your product to
us. If you would like software reviewed, we prefer the software
to be the full version, but will review a demo copy. Software
can be review by others on the davespda.com team, though we can't
always guarantee this.
Who is this Dave guy?
David Conger is a senior at the University of
Puget Sound, studying Computer Science and Business. Prior to
attending the UPS, Dave graduated from Southridge High School in
Beaverton, Oregon. Dave has a high interested in computers and has
worked for the Intel Corporation doing Quality Assurance in the Smart Toy
Labs and Internet Imaging Services groups.
What kind of PDA does Dave have?
Currently I use a iPAQ 3640 (which is the
same as the 3635). I also have a PC Card jacket for it as
well as network cards and modems that are compatible. I also
have a Philips Nino 500 and a VTech Helio for Linux.
How much does this site cost you?
I am very lucky to have a generous sponsors
that pay for the general server costs. Originally, when I moved this
site to be banner free, it cost around a $100 a year. I
began exceeding traffic limits (which I am happy about, don't stop coming
here) so I needed to migrate servers.
Do you get a lot of free stuff?
I have received some products in the past for
reviews, but getting hardware products is extremely difficult. Usually reviewers don't get to keep hardware
they test (like the CerfCube and CerfPod I reviewed), but I am still happy
to get them for a little while!
Do you make money from this site?
As should be obvious this site has no
banner ads. I will never but full banner ads all over the site
since this is a hobbyist site and should look that way. I do
earn some money from the links via the
NexTag price checking system. I feel that price checking services like NexTag
are beneficial to consumers (I often use them for finding prices and
information) and NexTag links only augment the site, not detract from
the content. I am happy
to say that all proceeds from links will go right back into this
site. All the money I make, I spend on PDA relegated gear so I
can better support the visitors of this site and will also be using it
for giveaways and more.
Can I help be a part of
davespda.com?
Sure! Anyone that wants to report news,
post reviews, software, or anything else, just email dave@davespda.com.
Articles on your thoughts are the best place to start. Since I am
not a Pocket PC or Palm affiliated site, you can talk about either
(positive or negative) and say anything you want.
