He was the mobile phones editor at CNET UK for three years, has written for GQ and the Telegraph, and judged the best handset for the Global Mobile Awards 2009. When he's not looking at mobiles, he's eating dim sum.

Thomas Newton is a real music geek and is particularly interested in music streaming services, which he hopes will come to a mobile phone soon.

His favourite things include Chinese takeaway, Martin Amis novels and cats.

Owen Gerrard

Technical manager

Owen Gerrard is the resident geek, technical manager and lead developer on Recombu. A quote from The Matrix best explains his MO: "What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. Don't think you are, know you are. Come on. Stop trying to hit me and hit me." In fact, it's been said that he actually is the matrix.

Tim Gregg

Specialist Developer

When not cursing third-party feed structure changes, he can be found squeezing ever more horsepower out of his MR2 Turbo.
