In the spirit of the fourth season of American Idol. We are holding auditions for the next "Pocket PC Idol" The next Pocket PC Idol will known world-wide for his or her outright talent and ability to write Pocket PC news, reviews and rants & raves as an editor for Pocket PC Addict.
So do you have what it takes to be the next Pocket PC Idol? Can you write? Are you good at digging up Pocket PC News, Tips and Commentary? Can you review an item without putting a reader to sleep? If so, post your best in our PPC Idol Audition forum! If it's good, it will be modded up to the front page. Not so good..we'll comment and you can try again. Get several mods to the front page and you'll become the next Pocket PC Idol - an editor for Pocket PC Addict! P.S. I am really busy with Achieve-IT! 2.0 development, so I could really use the help!
Is nobody coming to the challenge? Or are we not seeing the responses... I am a technical writer with a Journalism degree. I can probably help but not sure what you are looking for exactly. Give me a specific challenge....

jeldard,
Thanks for writing. Even though PPC Addict is sort of being run by only me currently, in the past, there have been other people on board. During those times (they seem to come and go) the people post what they find to be important, funny or interesting with regards to Pocket PCs. As such, the "challenge" to you or any other writer would be to be yourself, post what interests you and/or you think is newsworthy in the Pocket PC arena. With a few off-topic posts to add some spice every now and again if you like.
For instance, what software is loaded on your Pocket PC right now? Which of the programs do you like the best and Why? Did you load a program in the last week that you find remarkable or a dud? Have you read anything new about PPCs in the last day or so where you thought "Wow! I can't wait for that!" or perhaps you had the opposite idea. "What Dumb*** thought of that idea?" You get the picture.
As a technical writer, I am guessing you have to work on projects that are stricly directed and confined. It's not that way here. The only limitations here is we are a PG-rated site and do not allow warez, spam, illegal activity or discriminitory posts. I would guess this is common sense to most people.
So if you are wanting to write more creative stuff in front of a LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE then this would probably be a good match.
This is a good discussion I think for you and others who might be considering this. Let me know your thoughts! 8-)
I'd love to give a whirl, but my problem is always lack of time.
Oh, wait, isn't that why I have Pocket PC in the first place?!?!
I like to rant and rave alot, (see my posts about the Schiavo case), so maybe you'll see something soon in the Free for all forum.
By the way Brad, I have no idea how you maintain such a great site basically alone. Kudos and thanks, bud.
hamcse924,
Thanks for the compliment
I could sure use the help yes. True, it does take a lot of energy to maintain my schedule. But for the enthusiast who wants wants to post stories, etc. It takes the same amount of time as a forum post. In fact, it IS a forum post, they just have admin rights to send it to the front page
