I am a huge fan of David Pogue. Among other things, Pogue is the personal-technology columnist for the New York Times. Each week, he contributes a print column, an online column and an online video. His daily blog, “Pogue’s Posts,” is the Times’s most popular blog.
He recently wrote a terrific story about the new T-Mobile G1.
(note: for those of you who are interested, David will be the keynote speaker on November 20th at The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism entitled “Consumer Revolution on the Web: Opportunities and Dangers for Journalism”)
